Piper nigrum L., ground fruit, from certified organic cultivation
Black pepper is one of the world's most popular and versatile spices. Originally native to India, it is obtained from the unripe, green berries of the pepper plant, which are dried to give them their characteristic black, textured surface. Piper nigrum comes from a climbing plant in the pepper family (Piperaceae).
Botanically speaking, it is the green fruit that is dried after harvesting and ground into a fine powder, retaining its characteristic aroma.
Pepper is one of the oldest known spices in the world and has played a central role in trade between Asia, the Middle East and Europe since ancient times. As early as the Middle Ages, it was highly prized in monastic and commercial circles and was a symbol of wealth, power and culinary sophistication. Historical herbals and trade books document its use as a seasoning, preservative and component of traditional herbalism.
