Cracked black pepper

Cracked black pepper is a popular spice that comes from the pepper plant. It adds a distinct flavour and aroma to dishes and is commonly used in cooking to enhance the taste of food. Black pepper is harvested from the berries of the pepper plant and is then dried and cracked into small pieces, which are known as cracked black pepper.

To make cracked black pepper, the peppercorns are harvested when they are not quite ripe and then sun-dried until they turn a dark shade of black. Once dried, the outer layer of the peppercorn is cracked open to reveal the seed inside. This process is what gives cracked black pepper its unique texture and sharp flavour. It is often used in both whole and cracked forms to season a wide variety of dishes.

Cracked black pepper appears on food labels because of its ability to enhance the overall taste of food. It adds a subtle heat and sharpness to dishes, making them more flavourful and delicious. Common foods that may contain cracked black pepper include soups, stews, marinades, meats, and salads. It is a versatile ingredient that can be used in both savoury and sweet dishes to give them an extra kick of flavour.
