About Indian Black Pepper
Discover the "King of Spices" that has flavored cuisines worldwide for centuries
The King of Spices
Black Pepper (Piper nigrum), known as the "King of Spices," is one of India's most prized and ancient exports. Grown primarily in the lush Western Ghats of Kerala, our black pepper is renowned for its superior aroma, flavor, and piperine content (the compound responsible for its pungency).
At our facilities, we specialize in processing the finest Tellicherry and Malabar Garbled pepper varieties, which are considered the gold standard in international markets. Tellicherry pepper, named after the port city of Thalassery, consists of larger berries (4.75mm+) that develop more complex flavors. Malabar Garbled is carefully hand-sorted to remove all light berries and impurities, resulting in uniform black corns with superior appearance.
Our black pepper undergoes meticulous processing to maintain its essential oil content (≥2.5%) and piperine levels (≥5%). After harvesting at peak maturity, the berries are sun-dried to perfection (moisture ≤12%), then sorted using both mechanical and manual methods to ensure only the highest quality corns make it to your kitchen.
