Pepper
is the worlds most popular spice and
has a great history. In ancient times, pepper was
more valuable than gold. It grows in grapelike clusters
on the pepper plant, a climbing vine native to India.
The berry is processed to produce
three basic types of peppercorn black, white,
green and pink. Black pepper has the strongest flavor
of all. It has a slightly hot flavor with a faint
hint of sweetness.
