D'allesandro Smoked Ground Black Pepper, Bulk - 2 Oz.
Black peppercorns come from the common pepper plant (Piper nigrum), a flowering tropical plant that produces tiny berries. These berries can be harvested and processed at various stages of maturity to achieve different flavors and colors. Black peppercorns are harvested at full maturity, but before they ripen. When picked, they are greenish yellow in color. The peppercorns are then briefly boiled and allowed to dry and ferment until they become wrinkled, black and very aromatic, with a moderately hot, warming flavor.
- Use as a finishing pepper or add to rubs or seasoning blends.
- Great on grilled meat and vegetables.
- Add to salsa for smoky kick.
- Add to Bloody Marys or mix a small amount with salt and use to rim cocktail glasses.
- Add to soups and stews during the last minutes of cooking to maximize flavor.
- Store in a dry, cool place.
