Description

Organic black peppercorns from The Blue House

Organic black peppercorns are created from the unripe green berries harvested, which turn brown to black on drying. The outside of the black pepper is wrinkled.

The pepper plant is a creeper that can grow up to 15 metres tall. It grows in the shade. The plant needs plenty of moisture, and a high temperature. The plant bears berries about 5 mm in size. The berries grow in clusters about 12 cm long, like currants. There are four types of peppercorns that come from this plant: black, white, green and red/red-brown. Spanish and pink pepper come from a different plant.
