Aadhimalai - Tribal Harvest Nilgiris Pepper - Natural spice - Combo pack of 2

 Product Overview

Our Wild Nilgiris Pepper is an authentic spice grown and harvested by indigenous farmers in the lush, biodiverse forests of the Nilgiris Biosphere Reserve. Cultivated under natural shade in mixed forest farms, this pepper flourishes without chemical fertilizers or pesticides, absorbing its bold aroma and earthy flavour from rich organic soil and pristine mountain air. Each peppercorn is handpicked at full maturity, sun-dried, and carefully sorted to retain its strong aroma, potent natural oils, and medicinal properties — known to boost metabolism, improve digestion, and support immunity.
