Himalayan Chef black peppercorns are produced by picking the mature but unripe berries. Our black pepper is moderately hot, pure, and aromatic. It is sun dried. Himalayan Chef’s black peppers are left on the vine longer than most peppers, so they develop a deep, rich flavor. Our black peppercorns contain a good amount of minerals like potassium, calcium, zinc, manganese, iron and magnesium. Our refillable pepper grinders are available with adaptable grinding levels from coarse to fine. All Himalayan Chef spices are certified Kosher, Halal, Vegan and non-GMO. Our products are pure, natural, and organic. These are free from artificial colors and preservatives.
