Black Peppercorns

Black Peppercorns are the dried, unripe berries of the Piper nigrum plant, native to the Malabar Coast of India. These peppercorns are harvested when still green and then sun-dried until they develop their characteristic wrinkled, dark exterior and pungent, spicy flavor. As a staple spice in kitchens around the world, black peppercorns add a robust kick to a wide variety of culinary applications, from savory dishes to spice blends and marinades.
