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.
