Black Pepper - Whole

Origin: India

Black pepper the unripe fruit that is harvested from a flowering vine known as Piper nigrum. Once the berries are picked, they are fermented and dried. Black Pepper is the spiciest from unripened berries and contains a sharp, pungent flavor that adds a spicy tang to any dish.

Whole black pepper is the result of the unripened berries that have been through the drying process. Typically, whole peppercorns are placed in a spice mill and ground over foods for flavoring, but they can also be used in whole form. Because whole peppercorns are ground when needed, they contain a fresher, sharper heat than already ground versions.
