Ground black pepper
Ground black pepper is a common spice that comes from the berries of the Piper nigrum plant. These berries are dried and then ground into the fine powder that you see in spice jars. Black pepper is widely used in cooking to add flavour and a bit of heat to dishes.
To make ground black pepper, the berries are harvested when they are still green and unripe. They are then dried under the sun until they shrivel and turn dark brown or black, at which point they are ground into the fine powder we use in cooking. This process brings out the pungent flavour and aroma that black pepper is known for.
Ground black pepper often appears on food labels because it enhances the taste of dishes, adding a warm, spicy kick. It is a versatile spice that can be found in a wide variety of foods, from savoury dishes like meats, soups, and salads, to sweet treats like cookies and cakes. Its presence in food not only improves the overall flavour but also adds depth to the dishes we love.
