What it is

Organic black pepper powder is made from dried, ground peppercorns (Piper nigrum). Peppercorns are the unripe, green fruit of the pepper plant, which are then dried and ground. The organic designation means they are grown without synthetic pesticides or fertilizers.

Why it's used

Black pepper powder is primarily used as a spice to add flavor and a mild pungency to foods. It is a common ingredient in savory dishes, spice blends, marinades, and rubs. Manufacturers use it to enhance the overall taste profile of products.

JECFA has evaluated black pepper and established a maximum level for its use in food. Evidence on significant health benefits or risks from typical dietary intake is limited.

Allergen info

Black pepper is not one of the 9 FDA major allergens. It does not contain gluten.
