J.R. WATKINS- BLACK PEPPER

Here's another item my Aunt purchased: Purest Granulated (not ground ) Black Pepper -All natural. From the catalog it reads:

When it comes to the world's most important spice, you might as well use the best. At Watkins, we buy top-quality Malabar and Lampong peppercorns (the two most potent varieties), carefully screen out fillers and stems, then granulate (not grind) them through our exclusive process, which creates less friction and preserves their high essential oil content. Experience the Gold Medal-winning taste of the most flavorful pepper on the market
Never heard of Malabar & Lampong peppercorns the two most potent varieties. Sounds hot and spicy how I LIKE IT!
