Pepper
Fun Fact
During the middle ages, peppercorns were accepted in lieu
of money for dowries, rent and taxes.
_______________________________________________________________
What's the best brand of ground black pepper? There isn't one, as soon as peppercorns are cracked they begin losing the volatile compounds that give them bold aroma and subtle flavor, soon enough, all that's left is a nonvolatile compound called piperine, which gives the sensation of "hotness" but little else. For that reason, we consider whole peppercorns - ground to order in a pepper mill - the only viable option.
Varieties
Black pepper,
the true pepper, is economically the most important species of the
pantropical pepper family (Piperaceae). It is native to Java, whence it
was introduced into other tropical countries.
