What it is
Black pepper (Piper nigrum) is a flowering vine cultivated for its fruit, known as peppercorns. The peppercorns are typically dried and then ground into a powder or used whole for seasoning. It is one of the most widely traded spices in the world.
Why it's used
Black pepper is used primarily as a spice and flavoring agent in a vast array of savory and some sweet dishes. It adds a pungent, slightly spicy flavor and aroma. Manufacturers use it in processed meats, seasonings, marinades, and spice blends.
Health notes
Black pepper is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use as a food ingredient. It contains piperine, which is responsible for its pungent taste and may affect nutrient absorption. JECFA and EFSA have evaluated black pepper and its extracts. Evidence on health benefits or risks at typical dietary intake levels is mixed, with some studies suggesting antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties, while others note potential interactions with medications.
Allergen info
Black pepper is not one of the FDA's nine major allergens. It does not contain gluten.
