Our story
Built from a problem
It started in the 1980s. A family member was on the Pritikin diet—and was told to skip the black pepper. It carried residue from mandatory fumigation, and the harvesting method left mold on the peppercorn.
Years later, a second family member developed diverticulitis. Same answer from her doctor: skip the pepper. It irritates the colon. It doesn't digest.
The world's most popular spice. Off the table for two of our own.
So we read the research. Black pepper is also one of the oldest medicines in human history. Its active compound—piperine—was first scientifically validated as a bioavailability enhancer by Indian researcher C.K. Atal in 1979. It now shows up in peer-reviewed studies as anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, immune-modulatory, anti-microbial, and anti-cancer.* The problem wasn't pepper. The problem was how pepper got to your shelf.
In 2008, our company Ground Swell Foods launched Nutripepper®: black pepper that digests easily, never fumigated, never irradiated. We partnered with nutritionists and restaurateurs who care about ingredients the way we do. Two decades later, we're still refining flavor, usability, and the science behind every batch.
