SPICE & CO Pepper Black Cracked 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. Black peppercorns are the picked green berries that have been dried. The berries contain the inner "white" core that is white pepper as can be seen when using 'cracked' pepper. Black pepper is more fragrant than white pepper. Cracked black pepper goes well with all red meats and is convenient for a quick rub for pepper steak. Cracked black pepper can be used to add fragrant heat to casseroles, meat loafs, hamburger, and marinades. Cracked pepper goes well when Asian style stir fries require a little non chilli heat.
