Black pepper (Piper nigrum) is one of the most commonly used spices in the world, known for its pungent, spicy, and slightly woody flavor. It is produced from the dried berries of the pepper plant, which is native to South India but now cultivated in tropical regions around the globe.
Flavor: Sharp, hot, and mildly earthy, black pepper enhances the flavor of both savory and sweet dishes. Its distinct pungency comes from the compound piperine.
Appearance: The dried fruit, or peppercorns, are small, round, and typically dark brown to black in color. Whole peppercorns are often used in grinders, while ground pepper is more commonly available.
Aroma: Pepper has a strong, spicy, and somewhat woody scent that can add complexity to various culinary applications.
