Health hazard and waste of money
The peppercorns have white mold, see attached pictures. If you were a kirayna store, i would have thrown these in your face and asked for a refund

Didn't expect this cheap quality from Spicy Carte
I have ordered this product (500 grams) twice. First time, pepper received is good. But second time after receiving the pepper, stored it in air tight bottle. After 10 days when i opened it, most of the pepper is spreader with white fungus. For weight purpose, either water will be sprinkled or pepper not dried properly.
