After the ripe Malagueta Peppers are handpicked, they are sent to the Facility for washing and sanitation following a strict safety process. The Malagueta Peppers can be washed with Water or alcohol (Buyer can select which process), and processed for packaging and storage or ground to a puree form or dry pepper form.
