Black pepper (Piper nigrum) is obtained from the small, dried berries of the plant vine Piper nigrum, is harvested by hand-picking unripe, green pepper berries from the vine when some have just started to turn red or yellow. These harvested berries are then dried in the sun until they shrivel and turn black, which is the process for creating black peppercorns. It has different coloration depending on when it is harvested. Black pepper, which comes from the Sanskrit word pippali, was once known as black “gold”. It has one of the longest histories as a sought-after spice, due to its ability to flavour foods, act as a preservative, and add heat to a dish. Black pepper offers a range of health benefits in addition to its flavour-enhancing properties. The flavour characteristics of black pepper are bitter, cedar/woody, heaty and musty.

Black Pepper Wholes

Black pepper's primary use is as a versatile seasoning to add flavour to a wide range of foods, including meats, vegetables, soups, and salads. Ground, dried, and cooked peppercorns have been used since antiquity, both for flavour and as a traditional medicine. Dried, ground black pepper is one of the most common spices in Western cuisine. Because pepper has a relatively low moisture content, it can be stored for many years without losing its flavour and aroma (especially when in its whole peppercorn form). It is used in rubs, spice blends, salad dressings, and peppercorn blends. It is also a key component in many spice blends and can be used in baking to add a surprising flavour to both sweet and savory goods like chocolate, cookies, and breads. It can be used whole, crushed, or ground depending on the desired flavour intensity and texture.

Antioxidants

Piperine, the main active component in black pepper, is considered a type of antioxidant that helps to lower the risk of chronic illnesses like atherosclerosis, cardiovascular disease, and neurological conditions. Black pepper is found to have antioxidant, antimicrobial, and gastro-protective properties. Pipperine has a positive effect on nutrient bioavailability as well, where it can increase the amount of nutrients absorbed into your bloodstream when incorporated into a meal. Black pepper helps to stimulate hydrochloric acid in your stomach so you can better digest and absorb the foods you eat. It has carminative properties too, which help to reduce discomfort and gas buildup in your intestines. In Ayurvedic practices, black pepper is mainly used for treating menstrual and ear, nose, and throat disorders.

Harvesting black pepper from lush green vines.

The plant requires a long rainy season, fairly high temperatures, and partial shade for best growth. Peppercorns picked when they begin to turn red. The collected peppercorns are immersed in boiling water for about 10 minutes, which causes them to turn dark brown or black in an hour. Then they are spread out to dry in the sun for three or four days. The whole peppercorns, when ground, yield black pepper.
