Black ground pepper

Pepper - no spice is used more often. Black, white or green - ground or whole. What many people don't know: White and black pepper come from the same plant. The dark pepper fruits owe their dark color and pungency to the long drying process. In contrast to white pepper, the unripe berries of the pepper plant are harvested for this purpose. The seeds are then boiled and dried. Whether whole or ground, black pepper is the magic cure for bland taste. But what is white pepper used for and what is black pepper used for? The kitchen rule says: white pepper with light dishes and black pepper with dark dishes. You can never go wrong with this. Black pepper is best for grilled meat or seafood, dressings and sauces, but also for compotes.
