Black Pepper Specifications Color Black Odor Characteristic Product
Description Pepper (Piper nigrum), the king of spices, is one of
the oldest and the most popular spice in the world. It is a
perennial, climbing vine indigenous to the Malabar Coast of India.
The hotly pungent spice made from its berries is one of the
earliest spices known and is probably the most widely used spice in
the world today. It was mentioned as far back as ***0 BC in ancient
Sanskrit literature. In early historic times black pepper was
widely cultivated in the tropics of Southeast Asia, where it became
an important article of overland trade between India and Europe. It
became a medium of exchange, and tributes were levied in black
pepper in ancient Greece and Rome. In the Middle Ages the Venetian
and the Genoese became the main distributors, their virtual
monopoly of the trade helping to instigate the search for an
eastern sea route. The name pepper comes from the Sanskrit word
pippali meaning berry. Botany: Apart from India, black pepper is
widely cultivated throughout Indonesia, Malaysia, Thailand, tropica
Africa, Brazil, Sri Lanka, Vietnam and China also. It is a
branching vine with a smooth, woody, articulate stem swollen at the
joints. A woody climber, it may reach heights of *0m by means of
its aerial roots. Its broad, shiny green, pointed , petiolate
leaves are alternately arranged. The sessile, white, small flowers
are borne in pendulous, dense, slender spikes of about *0 blossoms
each. The berry-like fruits, or peppercorns, are round, about 0.5 -
1.0 cm in diameter and contain a single seed. They become yellowish
red at maturity and bear a single seed. The odour is penetrating
and aromatic; the taste is hot, biting and very pungent.
