Import Black Pepper — Buy in Bulk from Supplier in India

Pentastar International supplies Indian Black Pepper (Piper nigrum) in MG1 grade, with a moisture content of 11% and other matter not exceeding 0.50%. The product is packaged in 25 kg polypropylene bags and contains no more than 9% light pepper by weight. This grade is consistent with standard export specifications for Malabar black pepper, known for its slightly greenish hue and balanced pungency.

The peppercorns are sourced from traditional growing regions in Kerala and Gujarat, where climatic conditions support the development of high volatile oil content. The material is processed to meet international standards for foreign matter and size distribution, with a tolerance limit of 0.5% max. Tellicherry-grade berries are not offered here; this listing reflects standard Malabar-grade peppercorns, historically traded under names like Goa or Aleppi.

Buyers in the food processing, pharmaceutical, and retail spice sectors use this product for seasoning, extraction, and capsule formulations. Trade is conducted on FOB basis from Indian ports, with lead times of 15 to 20 days after order confirmation. Packaging is standard for bulk export, and buyers should verify batch-specific test certificates for moisture, volatile oil, and piperine content before shipment.
