Product Overview
Indian Black Pepper (Piper nigrum) from Amrudhya Harvests is sourced from the traditional growing regions of Kerala's Wayanad and Idukki districts - the historical heartland of Asian pepper trade. We supply two primary grades meeting international demand: MG-1 (Malabar Garbled Grade 1) - the benchmark for European spice importers - featuring bold berries with 550g/L bulk density, <1% light berries, and piperine content of 4–7%; and TGSEB grade for buyers in the Gulf and Southeast Asian markets. Black pepper from Amrudhya Harvests is steam sterilized (to achieve a 5-log Salmonella reduction) or ETO-treated as required by destination country regulations. We test every batch for Ochratoxin A (OTA), pesticide residues to EU MRL standards, heavy metals, and moisture (<12%). Black pepper commands strong demand from spice processors, pharmaceutical companies (piperine extraction), food manufacturers, and retail brands across Europe, the USA, Middle East, and Japan. Available in conventional and certified organic grades.
