Verstegen Black Pepper Whole 40g*6/box

Pepper has been used for its flavor and traditional medicinal properties since ancient times. Black pepper is the world’s most traded spice and one of the most common spices in cuisines around the world. Its spiciness comes from the chemical piperine, unlike the capsaicin in chili peppers. It is ubiquitous as a seasoning in the modern world and is often paired with salt. There are three main colors of peppercorns: black, green, and white. Black pepper comes from the same plant, but their production and harvesting times differ. Black and green peppercorns are harvested before they are fully ripe and then cured to retain their color and mild flavor. Typical black pepper is heat-treated and dried in an oven or sun, resulting in a wonderful aroma, suitable for grinding and cooking with meats and vegetables.
