SPICE & CO Peppercorns Black Whole 60g

Black pepper is regarded for its strong aromatic pungency and lingering heat.  All peppercorns (green, black, white and pink) are in fact the same berry at different stages of maturity or process. Black peppercorns are the picked green (immature) berries that have been dried. The berries contain the inner "white" core that is white pepper (as can be seen when using cracked black pepper). Black pepper is more fragrant than white pepper as it contains the aroma laden oils of the outer berry. Freshly ground black pepper adds a fragrant heat to most foods and is one of the most popular and traded spices in the world.
