Black Pepper

Peppercorns, whether black, white or green, are the dried fruits of the pepper plant. One of the oldest and best-known spices in the world, pepper is indigenous to India and is rightly called the \"King of Spices\". It is a perennial, climbing vine indigenous to the Malabar Coast of India. The hotly pungent spice made from its berries is one of the earliest spices known and is probably the most widely used spice in the world today. Black pepper is produced when the fruits turn yellow-orange; pepper made from these almost ripe berries has a particularly good flavor. Fully ripened pepper fruits are used to make White Pepper. White pepper retains the full pungency of black pepper, but it has an altered flavor due to partial loss of aroma compounds. White pepper is significantly more expensive than black pepper. White pepper has a hotter taste than black pepper.
