MG1 vs TGEB black pepper
Bulk density and berry size decide it — and grinding erases TGEB’s premium.
MG1 vs TGEB black pepper: which should you buy?
Specify MG1 for standard grinding and blending at ~500–550 g/l; pay up for TGEB only when bold whole-berry appearance or maximum density is the selling point.
- — MG1 is cleaned pepper at ~500–550 g/l
- — TGEB is bold, heavier Tellicherry berries above ~550 g/l
- — The visual/density premium of TGEB is wasted if the pepper is ground
Unless: You are selling whole peppercorns at retail, where TGEB’s bold appearance justifies the premium.
