Spices

Black Pepper

Pepper is considered the 'King’ of spices for its strong aroma. It is an inevitable flavouring spice on the dining table. The insatiable appetite for this spice makes it the most traded spice in the world. It is rich in vitamin B and is excellent to treat respiratory and bone-related ailments. This spice with the strong lingering bite is sourced from the hills of “Kollimalai”, a beautiful place in the Namakkal district of Tamil Nadu, which is the home of the tribal community. We source the Pepper that is naturally grown, handpicked, sun-dried, cleaned, and packed by the tribal farmers of Kollimalai and from other Farmer Institutions in Western Ghats.
