Black Pepper Powder

What is Black Pepper Powder?

Black pepper powder is made from the dried, unripe berries of the Piper nigrum plant, a climbing vine native to India. This spice is one of the oldest and most widely used spices in the world. The fine powder is known for its sharp, spicy flavor that adds a deep, aromatic dimension to dishes. In addition to black pepper powder, white pepper powder is also produced from the same plant. The difference lies in the processing method; white pepper is made from fully ripe berries from which the outer skin is removed, resulting in a milder aroma and taste.

Origin of Black Pepper

Looking back in history, black pepper was one of the most valuable and traded spices. In those times, people used pepper grains instead of real coins as currency. Piper nigrum is the name of the flowering plant from which black pepper is produced. It belongs to the Piperaceae family with fruit called peppercorns. It is a fruit that is dried and later used as a spice and flavoring agent. The diameter of a mature peppercorn is about 5 mm. The color of the fruit is dark red and has a seed just like stone fruits. It is a source to produce ground pepper and peppercorns commonly known as green pepper (dried unripe fruit), white pepper (ripe fruit seeds), or black pepper (cooked and dried unripe fruit).

How is Black Pepper Powder Made?

Pepper plants produce unripe berries that are still green, and these are then used to make black pepper. Before the berries are dried, they are cooked and cleaned in hot water. The heat from the water accelerates the browning process during drying. The drying process takes several days, even with machines. During this process, the pepper around the seed darkens to a thin layer and shrinks. When the drying process is complete, the product we get is called peppercorns.
