Pepper - Black, Whole

Imported from India, whole black peppercorn is ready to add flavor and zest to your dishes.

Of the three most common spices from the Piper Nigrum plant (black pepper, white pepper, and green pepper), black pepper is by far the strongest and most pungent flavor of the bunch. It is made by harvesting the unripe berries and leaving them to dry in the sun with the fruit still on the seed. These tiny black balls are packed full of woodsy peppery bite with subtle hints of fresh citrus, perfect on almost any savory dish needing a little flavor kick.

Buy whole black peppercorns for a long lasting and versatile spice. In peppercorns the flavor is preserved almost indefinitely, making them easy to stock up on. Grind them just before use to unleash their great flavors. Grind small for every day use or chose a large coarse grind for seasoning steaks, roasts, or fish for grilling.

Combine black and green peppercorns in a grinder for a stronger raw, biting, flavor. Combine black and white peppercorns for a flavor that lingers. Or, mix black peppercorns and whole allspice in a pepper grinder for a complex savory spice blend.
