Pepper is one of the oldest and best-known spices in the world. From the earliest days of commerce, pepper’s ability to spice up the bland European diet made it an item of extreme luxury and a staple of trade. Black and White Pepper actually comes from the same plant, Piper nigrum. Black Pepper is made from dried unripened fruit. White Pepper is made from the inner portion of the fully ripened fruit.
