Origin
Black pepper is native to the Malabar Coast of India and is one of the oldest known spices. It has been used in Indian cooking for over 4,000 years. From India, black pepper spread to other parts of Asia, including China, Indonesia, and Malaysia. It was highly valued and traded along the ancient spice routes, reaching Europe in the Middle Ages. Today, black pepper is grown in many tropical regions around the world, including India, Indonesia, Vietnam, Brazil, and Madagascar.
