Black Pepper

The western hemisphere might not have been discovered until a much later date, had there been no attraction of spicy pepper for the western maritime nations.

Pepper is known as the master spice because it can be stored for many years without it losing its irresistible aroma.

Ground Black Pepper Black or white pepper is a product of the same tropical Vine Piper Nigrum. Pepper berries grow in racemes like grapes. They turn from green to yellow and then to red as they ripen. Black pepper is made from under ripe berries. As they dry, the color changes to the familiar deep mahogany shade.

Ground White PepperWhite pepper is made from the completely ripe Pipe Nigrum berry. The berries are soaked soon after they are picked. The softened hull is rubbed off thereafter.

Pepper is one the most widely used spices in the world. In India it is no exception. Many people prefer pepper instead of chillies to make the preparation hotter and spicier.
