Starwest Botanicals Organic Malabar Black Pepper Whole, 1 Pound (Health and Beauty)

These peppercorns surprised me. They're really pungent and flavorful, not what I was expecting from a cheap bulk buy. The peppercorns are perfectly dried and solid. They are fresher than some other brands I get in the stores, including Trader Joe's and our local food co-op.The only problem I had was with the packaging. It comes in a resealable foil-type package with a zip closure. When I opened my package, the zip closure was unglued on one side, making the zip unusable. Of course, it was easily remedied by a different air-tight container. The packaging is not going to stop me from purchasing these again though.I think it's a good value for great peppercorns.
