Black pepper is produced when the pepper grain is halfway through its ripening process, and it is one of the most commonly used spices in ancient times.

The spicy taste of pepper comes from the compound piperine, which is found in the pepper's skin and seed. It is mainly used in stews, as well as in roasted or grilled meats, soups, marinades, pastas, and rice dishes.

It is one of the spices that can be used for almost any meal.
