What to Look For — Choosing Your Black Pepper

01

Piperine Concentration (5%–9%)

The natural alkaloid responsible for heat and bio-enhancement; Indian Malabar pepper offers industry-leading natural potency.

02

Bulk Density & Litre Weight (500–600+ g/l)

Heavier bulk density reflects solid seed maturity and maximizes grinding yields, while lighter berries reduce extraction efficiency.

03

Garbled Grade (MG-1)

Confirms thorough mechanical pre-cleaning, washing, and optical sorting to remove pinheads, dust, light berries, and stems.

04

Moisture Content (≤12%)

Strictly controlled between 8%–12% to prevent mold growth during maritime shipping while retaining natural essential oils.

05

Zero Adulteration Guarantee

Lab-verified 100% pure Piper nigrum, free from papaya seeds, spent pepper waste, or mineral oil polishing.
