Peppercorns, Whole Black

Dried ground pepper has been used since antiquity for both its flavour and as a medicine. Black Pepper is the world's most traded spice. It is one of the most common spices added to European cuisines. The spiciness of black pepper is due to the chemical piperine. It is ubiquitous in the modern world as a seasoning and is often paired with salt.
