What it is
Organic cracked black pepper is made from dried, whole black peppercorns (Piper nigrum) that have been coarsely broken. It is grown without synthetic pesticides or fertilizers. The cracking process releases more of its aromatic oils and pungent flavor than whole peppercorns.
Why it's used
Manufacturers add cracked black pepper primarily for its pungent, spicy flavor and aroma. It is a versatile seasoning used in a wide variety of savory dishes, including soups, stews, meats, vegetables, and sauces. It is also found in spice blends and marinades.
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 pungency and may affect nutrient absorption. International bodies like JECFA have evaluated black pepper and its components. Evidence on significant health benefits or risks from typical dietary intake is limited.
Allergen info
Black pepper is not one of the nine FDA major allergens. It does not contain gluten.
