Black Pepper

To get black pepper, we pick the whole bunch of peppercorns from their branches. The bunch of ripe fruits contains yellow or red seeds, but we still pick whole bunch.

We keep them in about 15 hours to increase the rate of ripening seeds, and improve the nutritional value and delicious taste of seeds.

Then we dry them under the sun and remove impurities; then store the dried pepper in the warehouse. Black pepper after process is about one-third green pepper size.

In order to keep the black pepper to have a nice shade without havin dirt, microorganisms and molds, before drying, the pepper should be washed with boiling water with a little salt for 1-2 minutes.

Afterwards, we drain and proceed them to dry. However, according to my real experience in the local area; most farmers neglect to wash black peppercorns because they want to save some production costs.

Another reason is that the sterilization process can be carried out with fluidized bed dryer with advanced technology after drying in the farm.

Drying by dryers only takes about 6-7 hours. In one day, we can 2-3 batches.  Large dryer can dry a few hundred kilograms a batch of drying. The process is safe, closed, ensuring the strictest hygiene and safety standards. This is also the method of processing black pepper in factory nowadays.

White pepper

Black pepper is better than white pepper in term of nutrition, but white pepper is harder to process than black pepper.

In Bangka Island, the pepper is harvested when their bunches are 50-60% ripe, the fruit is put into bags, compacted, tied and  soaked in water.

After 6-10 days of soaking. The peppercorns are soft, and can be separated easily. filtered out the stem and miscellaneous impurities. Subsequently, we put them outside for drying. The freshly washed pepper is gray, but when dried. they will have milk white color skins.

In India, people keep green peppers for several days and wait until they are ripe thoroughly. Then they soak them in fresh water for 6-12 days. They change the water daily; then rubbing between the two coconut fiber rugs to remove the shells of pepper, then the peppercorns are put outside for drying.

In Cambodia and Vietnam, we process white pepper from black pepper as follows: select the large ripe red pepper (4.5-5.5mm), ,then we put them in a bag in fresh water from 10-15 days with continuous water change. When the outer shell is swollen, soft and we put them in the machine to remove the shell. Then we wash and dry them again.
