These peppercorns are dried to create the pungent spice we use worldwide. Piperine gives it its kick. White pepper is a milder version with the outer layer removed. Historically, it's also been used for digestion.]]> Black pepper, derived from the berries of the Piper nigrum vine, is a globally popular spice with a history dating back to ancient India. ¹ These berries, or peppercorns, offer a pungent and aromatic flavor thanks to the compound piperine. ² The plant itself is a climbing vine cultivated in tropical regions. ³ Black peppercorns are harvested when nearly ripe, briefly boiled, and then sun-dried. ⁴ Grinding these yields the black pepper we know. White pepper comes from removing the outer layer of the peppercorn, resulting in a milder flavor. ⁵ Beyond its culinary use, black pepper has been traditionally used to aid digestion.
