From Green Berries to Black Pepper
After harvesting, we receive and weigh the fresh pepper at our collection points. The berries are then re-verified and passed through metal detection before drying.
During drying, the berries gradually turn from green to black. We spread them on mesh shelves and sun-dry them for one to two weeks, depending on weather conditions. Once dried, they are sorted according to our product standards before final preparation.
