Premium Black Pepper
Our Premium Black Pepper is sourced from the Western Ghats - the historic heartland of the global pepper trade. Left on the vine longer for full maturity, these peppercorns are bolder, more flavourful, and higher in piperine and essential oils. Piperine enhances the bioavailability of nutrients like turmeric's curcumin. Hand-harvested by tribal communities and sun-dried using traditional methods. Ideal for freshly ground pepper, garam masala, marinades, and wellness drinks. FSSAI certified, sorted for uniform bold size, free from dust or fillers.
