Black Pepper Powder

Black pepper powder is a fine, ground form of black peppercorns, which are the dried fruit of the Piper nigrum plant. It is one of the most widely used spices in the world, known for its sharp, pungent flavor and aromatic warmth. The powder is typically dark brown to black in color and has a strong, spicy taste with subtle hints of earthiness and citrus. Black pepper powder is used to season a variety of dishes, adding depth and a mild heat. It is also valued for its versatility, complementing both savory and sweet recipes, and is often included in spice blends or marinades. The ground form provides convenience and is ready to use, unlike whole peppercorns, which require grinding before use.
