Pepper (Piper nigrum)
India’s Harvest, the World’s Choice
About Pepper (Piper nigrum)
Hailed as the 'King of Spices', pepper is one of the most widely used spices globally. Sourced from the Malabar Coast of India, all pepper varieties—black, white, and green—originate from the same berry but are processed differently. Black pepper offers a sharp, pungent heat; white pepper provides a more earthy, refined heat; and green pepper has a fresh, mild spiciness.
