Pavian Black Powder

An explosive powder mined from the Pavian Mountains . It is also known to be one of the ingredients in Chocolate Cherry Bombs. The spicy powder is so versatile. It can be sprinkled over dosas and it is awesome stirred into rice with a little oil or ghee. Try it as a dry dip for homemade idlis and you'll be happy you did. The finished gunpowder is excellent as a snack, simply eaten on its own. However it is very volatile because it doesn't require a shock from a blasting cap or similar source to set it off so becareful on the measurements.

Type

Composite

Odor

a bit sulfury but mostly that tangy bitter flavor

Taste

The powder does have a sort of background saltiness to it, but mostly it tasted kind of bitter and astringent. It almost has a "tang" to it. I also tasted a few grains by themselves, and it does taste kind of like how it smells.
