And while a light sprinkling of sodium makes sense, what does grinding on the black stuff really do? And how did black pepper become a mainstay of spice racks across the world?<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Let\u2019s start with a little background on the world\u2019s favourite spice.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>What is black pepper?<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Black pepper starts life as berries in a clump on a flowering vine (like grapes). The berry is picked just before it is fully ripe, then dried until it shrivels and the skin turns black or dark brown, producing what we know as black peppercorns.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Where does black pepper originate?<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Native to Southern India, today black pepper is grown throughout the tropics. As the world\u2019s most popular spice, it is grown and harvested throughout the world&#8217;s major spice regions, from Indonesia to Ecuador and Brazil. And, just as with grapes used in wine making, the soil and growing conditions have an impact on flavour profile.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n            <\/div>\n            <\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n\n<section class=\"content-section content-section--top-mask content-section--teal\">\n        \n    <div class=\"image-with-text container container--small\">\n                    <div class=\"image-with-text__content\">\n                <h3 style=\"text-align: left;\"><b>Black pepper vs white pepper: what\u2019s the difference?<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The main difference between white and black pepper is how they&#8217;re picked and processed, which in turn affects the flavour and potency.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">White pepper, like black pepper, is made from the berries of the pepper plant, also known as the Piper nigrum. However, for white pepper these berries are picked at full ripeness.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">They\u2019re then soaked in water to ferment, before the outer layer is removed leaving only the inner seed. Because the skin is removed, some of the flavour is taken, including the piperine, which results in white pepper being milder than black pepper.<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n\n            <\/div>\n        \n                            \n                    <div class=\"image-with-text__image\">\n                <img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Pepper,Seeds,Or,Pepper,Corns,Collection,Isolated,On,White,Background\"  src=\"https:\/\/www.tilda.com\/en-ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2022\/01\/07153957\/bp-2.jpg\" width=\"\" height=\"\" loading=\"lazy\"\/>            <\/div>\n            <\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n<section class=\"content-section content-section--top-mask content-section-- u-contrast-text--\">\n    <div class=\"free-content container container--small\">\n                    <div class=\"free-content__content user-content\">\n                <h3><b>Different types of black pepper<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There are many varieties of blackpepper, but Tellicherry and Lampong are two of the most prized. Lampong is known for its strong citrusy aromas and it\u2019s slow burn that evolves into a more intense heat. Tellicherry peppercorns, on the other hand, are revered for their complex aroma and bright flavours.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Alternatives to black pepper<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you\u2019re looking for a substitute for black pepper there are several replacements that can pack a similar punch waiting on the spice rack, condiment shelf and produce aisle.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A pinch of dried chilli flakes is your best bet. Alternatively, a dash of Tabasco, mustard or horseradish spread will also add some heat. Lastly, a fresh peppery leaf, such as mustard or rocket, will mimic black peppers flavour.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Cooking with black pepper<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Black peppercorns have the strongest flavour of the peppercorn family, which comes from piperine, a chemical compound found in the skin. Just a freshly-ground-pinch will add a bit of background heat, as well as some deliciously earthy zing to your food.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Delicious as it may be, many suggest that there\u2019s a time and a place for black pepper, rather than a need to add it to almost every meal.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">That\u2019s because, unlike salt, black peppers&#8217; bitter bite and strong aroma don&#8217;t enhance the flavour of a dish. In fact, the two seasonings have opposite effects: while salt is used to coax out pre-existing flavour from foods, black pepper often changes or overshadows them. Think of black pepper as the yin to salt\u2019s yang.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The golden rule is think before you add a pinch, and only reach for the black pepper if what you&#8217;re cooking will benefit from the subtle flavours and heat this spice will add.<\/span><\/p>\n\n            <\/div>\n            <\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n\n<section class=\"content-section content-section--top-mask content-section--teal\">\n        \n    <div class=\"image-with-text container container--small\">\n                    <div class=\"image-with-text__content\">\n                <h3 style=\"text-align: left;\"><b>How to grind black pepper<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Black pepper is available whole, cracked, and either coarsely or finely ground. But, whenever possible, invest in a pepper mill and use whole peppercorns &#8211; you\u2019ll be rewarded with more vibrant and powerful flavours than if you use pre-ground.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">With a flick of the wrist a good grinder can crush black peppercorns to a fine or coarse texture (depending on your recipe or personal preference).\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Some recipes, however, call for whole peppercorns to be crushed in a pestle and mortar, which works well when they\u2019re being used as a coating. For the best results <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">rock<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> and <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">smash<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> your peppercorns in the mortar. This is a process of gently going around the pestle with the mortar to gather any ingredients that have climbed up the sides, then pushing them into the middle and bearing down. <\/span><\/p>\n\n            <\/div>\n        \n                            \n                    <div class=\"image-with-text__image\">\n                <img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Milled,Black,Pepper,,black,Pepper,Corns,And,Black,Pepper,Powder\"  src=\"https:\/\/www.tilda.com\/en-ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2022\/01\/07154020\/Black-White-Pepper-3.jpg\" width=\"\" height=\"\" loading=\"lazy\"\/>            <\/div>\n            <\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n<section class=\"content-section content-section--top-mask content-section-- u-contrast-text--\">\n    <div class=\"free-content container container--small\">\n                    <div class=\"free-content__content user-content\">\n                <h3><b>Black pepper storage<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Store your whole black peppercorns in an airtight container away from direct sunlight to maintain the freshness of the essential oils.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Health benefits of black pepper<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Black pepper offers well-documented <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.healthline.com\/nutrition\/black-pepper-benefits\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">health benefits<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> and is prized as a powerful antioxidant.
