Sri Lankan Black Pepper
Ceylon Black Pepper · Piper nigrum
Gammiris
Sri Lankan black pepper is prized on world markets for its high piperine content — the alkaloid that gives pepper its heat. Grown in mixed spice gardens under the island's monsoon climate, the berries develop a bigger, bolder bite than most origins.
Berries are picked at exactly the right maturity, blanched, then sun-dried on woven mats until their skins wrinkle to a deep charcoal black. The result is a peppercorn that grinds clean, blooms in hot oil and carries citrus and woody notes behind the heat.
We supply whole peppercorns for grinders and spice packers, as well as cracked and ground pepper for food manufacturers.
