Pepper , the king of all spices is considered as the oldest and best known spices in the world.  The name pepper comes from the Sanskrit word “Pippali” which means berry. 

Peppercorns are very strong in aroma and taste and can be stored for many years without losing its flavour.  It is commonly used in all dishes as a very popular spice and in canned foods as a flavouring agent.  It has medicinal properties for fighting colds, flu and infections, to energize, increase blood circulation, and relieve muscle aches.

White pepper consists of the seed only, with the skin of the pepper removed. This is usually accomplished by process known as retting, where fully ripe peppers are soaked in water for about a week, during which the flesh of the pepper softens and decomposes. Rubbing then removes what remains of the fruit, and the naked seed is dried. Alternative processes are used for removing the outer pepper from the seed, including decortication, the removal of the outer layer from black pepper from small peppers through mechanical, chemical or biological methods.

Pepper Fast Facts
1. Pipper nigrum is a tropical plant that grows in countries with a strong seasonal monsoon period followed by diminishing rain and concluding with a dry period that encourages the berries to fully ripen. There is a seven to eight-month period between the time the flower is pollinated and the harvest.

2. Most black pepper is grown in India, Indonesia, Brazil, and Vietnam.

3. Peppercorns grow on a vine supported by a stake or host tree. A pepper vine can grow to lengths of 100 feet, The plant requires three year to mature and produce peppercorns, but the vines will continue to be fruitful for years.

4. The same pepper vine produces three different spices depending on the maturity of the pepper berry when picked and how it is dried.

5. In South East Asia, the most reputed proveniences for black pepper are Sarawak in East Malaysia and Lampong from Sumatra, Indonesia. Both produce small-fruited black pepper that takes on a grayish colour during storage ; Lampong pepper is pretty hot but Sarawak pepper is mild and often described fruity.

6. The most important source of white pepper is from the small Indonesian island Bangka, south east of Sumarta. The peppercorns are named Muntok after the island's main port. Smaller amounts of white pepper are produced in Sarawak, which is particularly light-coloured ; the best quality is known as Sarawak Cream Label.
