DESCRIPTION

Whole Black pepper known as the king of Spices is a flowering vine in the family Piperaceae and the unripe fruit of the wine Piper nigrum, cultivated for its fruit, known as a peppercorn, which is usually dried and used as a spice, seasoning and medicine. The presence of piperine, a bioactive, is what give peppercorns its biting, almost pungent spiciness. Since ancient times black pepper is one of most widely traded spices in the world.

From the Vine to Pepper Shaker: How is Black Pepper Made?

Piper nigrum takes four years to mature but can be harvested for seven years. Once a couple of the green berries begin to turn red on the vine, the vines are picked and separated from the peppercorns. So, by now, you might be wondering, how is pepper made? To become the black peppercorns, we know in our grinders, the fruit is dried either by the sun or a machine. It ferments and certain enzymes cause the skin to become black and wrinkle. These are either ground and packaged or put in a grinder for on-the-spot use by the purchaser.

ORIGIN

The vine is native to India but is grown in nearly every tropical region. Vietnam currently grows and exports the most black pepper, totaling around 35% of the world’s supply, followed by India, Brazil, China and Sri Lanka. India developed spice routes with the Middle East so that more of the world could get their hands on “black gold”. In many ways, the history of pepper is intertwined with the history we know of the modern world.

TASTE

The characteristic flavor of black peppercorns is warm, pungent, earthy, piney, hot, woody, terpy. Herbaceous, brash—pepper’s distinct flavor adds an earthy kick and sharp aroma and somehow pairs well with just about any savory food, and some sweet ones, too. If salt helps bring out flavors, black pepper makes foods bolder versions of themselves.
