Black pepper (   Piper nigrum ), also known as  round pepper  and, in Brazil, as  black pepper , is one of the oldest and best-known spices. It is the agricultural product with the greatest influence on historical events and a parallel can be drawn with the importance of oil in modern times. Its grains, dried and ground, are widely used in cuisine in different countries. It has a strong, slightly spicy flavor, coming from a chemical compound called piperine. 

To produce black pepper.

the ears are harvested when the drupes are fully developed, light green or yellowish in color, and threshed mechanically in threshers or manually. There are producers who do not usually thresh the pepper. In this case, the ears are placed to dry in the sun, and during the drying process the dry drupes become detached from the axis of the ear. During the process of turning the pepper so that it dries evenly, they remove, with a small wooden squeegee, the axes of the cobs that are mixed with the product. Most of the pepper produced is dried in the sun. Few producers use wood or diesel dryers.

The popular grades of Black Pepper >>  FAQ, Machine Clean, ASTA, Steam Sterilize and ETO.

Brazil Pepper

Black Pepper/ Black Pinheads Pepper  -  brash intensity we found appealing.  An especially pungent, nose-clearing bite gives way to a more mild, easygoing flavor. Some detected very mild citrus and herbal notes. Brazilian black pepper is extraordinary with wild and intense notes. It offers a strong and refined spiciness with notes of citrus and musk. A Brazilian black pepper comes from three states: Cidade de Nova Venécia Espirito Santo, Bahia and Pará. 

Pink Pepper -  Citrus, floral, fruity and sweet, slightly peppery.  

Green Pepper -  Warm, vegetal, sweet. The slightly less spicy cousin of the black peppercorn.

White Pepper  -  notes of aniseed are woody, supple and pungent  more earthy and musty. 

Color: the Brazilian color is more white than the Vietnam color. 

The varieties of pepper grown in Brazil include : Singapore (Kuching) Bragantina (Panniyur-1) Guajarina (Arkulanmunda) Iacara-1 Kottanadan-1 Apra.

Ceylon / Sri Lanka Pepper

Sri Lanka is among the world’s best pepper producers. The demand is high for Sri Lankan pepper who has a (Organic black pepper) higher Piperine content of 9-11%,  Organic white pepper higher Piperine content  9-11% ( ​the Piperine content is usually 4–7% ) which gives it a superior quality and pungency.   Sri Lanka pepper is much safer and has no pesticides compared to pepper of Vietnam and Indonesia as their soil is not manupulated to promote growth.

Ceylon Pepper is particularly favored worldwide as it is quite rich in Piperine, the alkaloid which lends it a distinct pungency. As a result, Ceylon Pepper from Sri Lanka fetches a premium price in the international spice market. Black pepper is widely used as a 'hot' cooking spice and seasoning. 

Black Pepper -  A biting and long pepper in the mouth. Very classic scent with woody notes.   Our Sri Lankan black pepper has a quick bite and a lingering aroma. Deep black in color.

White Pepper -  Their difference is that white pepper is composed without the Pericarp. Pericarp contains much of the Pipperine, so the white corns are more aromatic and less strong, making it less strong than black pepper, but richer in flavor with sweet overtones.

White peppercorns are black peppercorns with the outer husk removed.  White pepper combines well into cream sauces and is essential to French cuisine and New England style seafood chowders.

Green Pepper are milder than black pepper. They have a lightly floral flavor and aroma, with brisk pepper-pine notes and an unobtrusive heat that quickly fades. 

Green peppercorns come from the same plant as black peppercorns, and are simply the unripe fruit of the same vine. They pack more concentrated heat than black peppercorns, but lack the complexity of the fully ripened berry. Pair green peppercorns with other robust flavors to complement their fierce nature.  

Green peppercorns are processed in a manner similar to black peppercorns, albeit with an additional step that may involve treatments that involve the use of chemicals such as sulfates or purely mechanical processes such as freeze drying. This is done to preserve the drupe's green color and flavornes, which make this variety of pepper much more fragrant than black or white peppercorns made from the same cultivar. Alternatively, the peppers may be pickled in brine, which makes for a crunchy addition to salads and spreads. Green peppercorns pickled in distilled white vinegar are considered a staple in pepper-growing regions in Tamil Nadu.

Vietnam Pepper

Vietnam is the world’s largest black pepper producer and exporter, with sales making up around half of global trade. The country also buys Cambodian pepper for re-export.  Three southern provinces (Binh Phuoc, Dong Nai, Ba Ria – Vung Tau) and another three in the Central Highlands (Gia Lai, Dak Lak, Dak Nong) produced a combined 97.8 percent of the total output.  

White pepper accounted for nearly 15 percent of Vietnam’s total shipment.  Harvesting is normally due to start in late January/ early February and ends in late May/ early June.  The United States, Germany, UAE, the Netherlands and Singapore are among the top Buyers for 2012.

They provide a fragrant, citrus flavor that's not pure spice.  Grown at 3000m, in the village of Nine Dragons, where it acquires an unparalleled aroma, and a single grain is enough to numb the entire tongue.

They aren’t hot in flavor, rather bright, sharp, and aromatic. They also contain a molecule known as hydroxy-alpha-sanshool which produces a numbing and tingling effect on the tongue.   The effect is deliciously fun when paired with hot chile peppers, creating a balance known as “ma la” in Szechwan cuisine.  

Sichuan Peppercorn 

Sichuan peppers, too, are far removed from the ubiquitous black drupes. The spice has various colors, from a deep pink to a jet black, and is delicate yet crunchy to the taste. These drupes have a unique mouthfeel and a delicate, almost floral taste that is followed by a numbing effect. The numbness is caused by a chemical called hydroxy-alpha sanshool, which is a potent flavor enhancer. These peppercorns add a distinct flavor to dishes with a lot of other spices, like chili crisp or five-spice powder. 

Most cuisines will only use the outer husk of the plant, discarding the black seeds inside. There are two species of the plant that are native to north-east India and range from green to black in color. These drupes are used across the Indian subcontinent, featuring in North Eastern, Bengali, and Konkani cuisine.

Malaysian Sarawak Black Pepper has big, bold aromas, which mellow in the mouth with old spice flavors, and warm, woody notes. Sarawak black is a Malaysian pepper, grown in mountainous Borneo, and widely considered to be one of the best black peppers in the world – recently being awarded a geographical indication (GI) status.

Thailand/ Indonesia Long Pepper: The tiny berries, which merge to a single, rod-like structure which bears some resemblance to catkins (flowers of trees like hazelnut or willow). It tastes hot and warm, with sweet overtones. The species Piper longum is of South Asian origin and is mostly cultivated in Indonesia (Madura, Java) and Thailand. 

Long pepper has a history as rich as black pepper, but it is more complex in flavor. Notes of nutmeg, cinnamon, and ginger make it an all-around spicier pepper. Use it for Ayurvedic recipes, as well as many Indonesian and Malaysian ones. Peppercorns pair surprisingly well with fresh strawberries and fennel. SPICE TRADE - Hundreds of years ago, traders considered ​the whole peppercorn the king of spices. Called “black gold,” it was one of the very first items of commerce between India and Europe. It was so valuable that entire expeditions were made in hopes of transporting more back to Europe as quickly as possible. 

A pepper plant can produce up to 3 kilograms of peppercorns per year, compared to only 6 ounces if we use the traditional method, and it can live for 10 to 15 years from only three years currently,” he said. Abdul added that in using support trees, people would stop cutting trees from our remaining forests, as they no longer needed the wood to support pepper plants.

A fresh pepper berry consists of a hard core and a softer outer rim. To produce black pepper the berries are plucked when they have not yet fully matured. The green berries are then dried in the sun. As a result, the skin derives its typical black wrinkled and spherical shape. The black color is caused by the action of an enzyme which makes that the black pigments mask the chlorophyll.

The dried black pepper will have a typical spicy aroma, caused by essential oil, which is mainly distributed in the inner portion of the outer rind and a very small amount in the core. The hot pungent taste is caused by the piperine, which is located in the hard core. The essential oil content varies between 2 and 4% and the piperine content between 2 and 10%.
