Production & Sourcing

Black Pepper is a popular spice that is produced from the dried berries of the Piper nigrum plant. It is native to the Malabar region of India but is now cultivated in several tropical regions including Indonesia, Vietnam, Brazil, and Sri Lanka. The berries are picked when they are fully ripe and about to turn red. They are then dried in the sun until they turn black, hence the name black pepper. The production of black pepper involves several steps, including harvesting, cleaning, and drying. In the harvesting process, the berries are picked by hand or with machinery. After that, the berries are cleaned to remove any impurities. Once clean, they are spread out in the sun to dry. Sometimes, the berries are also boiled before drying to enhance their flavor and color. Once dry, the berries turn into the familiar black peppercorns that are commonly used in cooking.
