Best Pepper & Peppercorns
Air, heat, and light are the enemies of fresh spices, so an airtight container in a cool, dark place like a cabinet is ideal. If we had to select just one spice to flavor our food, pepper, the master spice ,would be a wise choice.

"We ordered this pepper to go in our pepper grinder and it has a wonderful taste."
"I also saved over $7 by redeeming my points from Amazon Card so paid only paid $5.80."
"Yeah, hard to find peppercorns cheap...I don't need "rainbow pepper" in my grinders that cost more than my car...this was the best deal and I have quite a few grinders...a couple bucks more for twice as much??"
"Much larger than expected, though if I recall correctly, there were smaller sizes and I ordered the most effectively priced."
"I thought I'd try a different brand and buy this, but I wasn't very happy."
"Last time I ordered this I gave it 5 stars but this time the package is loaded with dust and pieces of sticks."
"1 star because it is pepper but it is not Tellicherry. So a Tellicherry peppercorn determined by size."

Rather than reinvent the wheel, I am quoting some of the best of the above article here which helped me make the decision to buy this product... "Scientifically speaking, there is only one true cinnamon, which is most commonly called "Ceylon cinnamon," and comes from the plant Cinnamomum zeylanicum. While most simply referred to as "cassia," you'll often find Cinnamomum aromaticaum being referred to as 'Chinese cinnamon' or 'Saigon cinnamon,' and you'll find Cinnamomum burmannii being called "Java cinnamon" or 'Padang cassia'." While the level of naturally occurring coumarins in Ceylon cinnamon appears to be very small and lower than the amount that could cause health risks, the level of naturally occurring coumarins in the cassia cinnamons appears to be much higher and may pose a risk to some individuals if consumed in substantial amounts on a regular basis."
"Very tasty, and a nice subtle woodsy scent."
"I never really liked Cassia cinnamon, which is the only thing available in supermarkets around here. First time it was great, second time I doubled the recipe's cinnamon and it just made the recipe taste even better. I did this completely on accident the first time, I used an old pepper bottle that I had washed out to store some of the cinnamon and shake it on food. Tasted great, and now I do it on purpose!"
"Good product."
"Ceylon cinnamon is the real deal."
"We like the milder flavor and use the cinnamon more often."
"Before this I took those big pill capsules apart and sprinkled the contents on certain foods (mainly peanut butter on nut/grain bread); tried this per my mom's suggestion and I have to admit that the taste is much smoother and richer, and the powder is finer so it's easier to eat."
"Frontier carries the best Ceylon cinnamon that I have found in the United States, a land plagued with cassia."

"This is the first attempt to make bath bombs, better than I expected. The die set is suitable for beginners to make bath bombs, and bellowing is the other materials I bought for your referenceBath Bomb Mold, 118PCS DIY Bath Bomb Kit Including 12 PCS 6 Set 3 SIZE Metal Bath Bomb Molds-5 Spoons-100 Shrink Wrap Bags-One Storage Bag,Bath Bomb Supplies for Crafting Your Own Fizzles."
"All you need is a wash cloth after that to remove the gummy grey buildup from the bottom of your tub, the walls etc. Use an eco friendly detergent and you won't need to fear residue on your dishes and glasses again. Citric acid is my go to for cleaning, but wear gloves and have good ventilation for the hydrogen peroxide mix i mentioned."
"It was perfect for the bath bombs I made."
"Using it as a bath additive with one cup of baking soda, 10-15 drops of various scented essential oils, and 2 cups of Epsom Salts definitely enhanced my bath experience and increased the skin softening affects equally as well as the "ready made" version by Aura Cacia, and I highly recommend it for this use. Citric Acid mixed with Baking Soda produces a quick bubbling effect that lasts a few seconds. I set it aside to air dry before putting it back into a container lined with a paper towel to absorb any dampness. Highly effective and food grade quality that doubles the length of time my blueberries remain fresh now. The other one doesn't state that, and since I use this primarily to clean and preserve organic blueberries and to soak in my Epsom Salts spa treatment, this is actually an important feature. Again, not as fine grained than the first one I tried, but it makes a difference of only a few seconds to dissolve, and it is less expensive than the other brand I purchased, plus it is made from Non-GMO fruit. I rely on "verified purchase" reviewers and their opinions, and return the favor by adding my own experiences, in appreciation of those who take the time to write them."
"This is the first bag I purchased from Milliard."

"I was browsing the web on how to lose belly fat and I came up with this article about lime.There was a part where my eyes got stuck “Lime and Himalayan salt” . I decided to look for a Himalayan salt online and I came up with Sherpa Pink. I first add ⅛ tsp of salt , then 2 oz hot water let it dissolve then pour another 8 oz of water.Then I’ll squeeze two medium sized limes together with the skin. I purchased three more bags of this salt and share it with my sister in law and my mom."
"If you want salt that is the same grain size as regular table salt, you should order "fine", not "extra-fine"."
"It was only when I received my free sample of pink Himalayan salt from The San Francisco Salt Company that I started to do a little bit of research on the subject of Himalayan salt. I don't eat much salt as a general rule, but I do put a sprinkle on fried/poached eggs in the morning, and as soon as this sample came in I cooked up some eggs and put a touch of the Sherpa Pink salt on it. Some useful notes: - The extra-fine grain of this salt means no further grinding is necessary and you can use less per seasoning (it is finer than standard table salt). - This salt is Kosher-certified. - The 5oz pack is resealable, and will stand upright when place on a flat surface (small detail, but appreciated nonetheless). - The pink color IS natural, not artificial (when I first saw this in a store a few years ago, I wondered...). Overall, the taste is what makes this salt easily-recommended."
"Perfect for rinsing your eye using this eye cup:The Cerami Plastic Eye Wash Cup - Made in the USA (Clear) BPA Free. If you have irritated eyes, allergies or eyes that just seem to weep all the time like mine, doing a Pink Salt rinse in the morning and before bed really helps, and doesn't sting your eyes like table salt does."
