KOCKENS Svartpeppar grm Rainforest Alliance - 255g

The true pepper, Piper nigrum, belongs to the species-rich family of pepper plants, Piperaceae. From this plant comes black, white and green pepper. Pepper is a perennial, about 10 m tall cleavage plant. The flowers are small, white to green and the fruit is a one-seeded stone fruit. When harvesting, the whole fruit pods are picked by hand. This occurs six to eight times per season at about two weeks apart. Black pepper is obtained by picking the green and unripe fruits. They are then allowed to ferment and after that they are dried in the sun and then turn brownish-black. Black pepper can be used both whole and ground. It gives the very best flavor if you grind it yourself in a pepper mill. Black pepper is one of the most common spices in European cooking and is well suited to all kinds of cooking and as a table spice. Chef's wants to contribute to a better world for people and nature.
