Ground black pepper is made from the fruit of the black pepper tree. These fruits are fermented, dried in the sun and then ground. This production process ensures that the pepper retains its typical flavour and pungent aroma. Pepper is native to India, where it has its roots. However, after its spread around the world, mainly thanks to seafaring, it began to be cultivated in other countries with tropical climates, such as Brazil or Vietnam.Few dishes today could do without a little pepper for flavouring. It belongs in every cuisine and is used to flavour all types of meat, most fish and vegan and vegetarian dishes. Organic black pepper also has several health benefits for the body. It contains antioxidants that promote overall health. It is also a source of vitamin C, which is important for immunity and natural defenses.
