Packing and container loading
Choose cartons, jute bags or compressed woven bags. Because whole pods are bulky, the tonnage per container depends on the pack and on compression, and is confirmed in your quotation.
What whole paprika pods are bought for
Grinders and spice processors buy whole pods as raw material for their own paprika powder or flakes, so they control milling and blending. Long whole pods are also sold for retail packs and for oil or sauce making where pods are soaked or infused. Ready-milled options start at 60 ASTA paprika powder.
MOQ, lead time and samples
MOQ for whole paprika pods is confirmed in your quotation; stock items have no MOQ. Lead time is about 1 week after order confirmation. A free 200 g sample is available, with freight paid by the buyer.
