Origin
Black pepper is native to the Malabar Coast of India and has been used in Indian cuisine for over 4,000 years. It was highly valued and traded along the ancient spice routes, reaching Europe and the Middle East. In ancient times, black pepper was considered a luxury item and was even used as currency. Today, it is grown in various countries including India, Indonesia, Vietnam, Brazil, and Sri Lanka. The peppercorns are harvested from the Piper nigrum plant and then dried and ground to produce the familiar black pepper powder.
