Black pepper is produced when the pepper grain is halfway through its ripening, and it is one of the most commonly used in ancient times. The spicy flavor of pepper comes from the compound piperine, which is found in the peel and seed of the pepper. It is mainly used in stews, as well as in roasted or grilled meats, soups, marinades, pastas, and rice. It is one of the spices that can be used for almost any meal.
