Black peppercorns 250g

Black pepper is a fruit of the Piperaceae family. The ancient Romans and Greeks respected pepper and used it in almost all fine dishes. In the Middle Ages, black pepper was a very expensive spice. Today it is used as a finishing touch to almost any type of dish. Black pepper can be used in soups and stews, as well as meat, poultry, fish, and vegetables. It is best to use black peppercorns just before serving a dish because when black pepper goes through heat treatment, the piperine substance can break down and it, therefore, becomes less flavorful.
