Zanzibar Black Peppercorns
These peppercorns are vine-ripened and hand-picked in Zanzibar. Unlike industrial pepper which is often a blend of old crops, these are single-harvest. High piperine content enhances the bioavailability of other nutrients like curcumin. The company is a Public Benefit Corporation focusing on direct trade and supply chain equity.
