Product Description
Black pepper - the unripe fruit that is harvested from a flowering vine known as Piper nigrum. Once the berries are picked, they are fermented and dried. Once the peppercorns brown and wrinkled in appearance, they are ground. The result is a mixture of peppercorn's light colored core and dark skin. Pepper is the world's most popular spice and comes in various forms ranging from whole to fine ground. Black Pepper is the spiciest from unripened berries and contains a sharp, pungent flavor that adds a spicy tang to any dish.
Our black pepper is supplied by AC LEGGs and comes in 5 Lb. bags. This item is priced with shipping included!
We offer a few different grind sizes including a couple of Coarse Grinds (Butcher and 14 MESH) as well as one fine grind (42 MESH) and 42 Fine MESH. See below for further details.
