What it is

White and black pepper are dried berries from the Piper nigrum vine, native to South Asia. Black pepper is made from unripe berries that are dried, causing them to turn black. White pepper comes from ripe berries that have been soaked and had their outer skin removed before drying.

Why it's used

Pepper is used as a spice to add a pungent, hot flavor to a wide variety of foods. Manufacturers use it to enhance the taste of savory dishes, including meats, sauces, soups, and vegetables. It is a common ingredient in many spice blends and marinades.

Health notes

Black and white pepper are generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use as a food flavoring. They are not typically consumed in amounts that would raise health concerns. International bodies like JECFA have evaluated pepper, and it is widely used globally. Research has explored piperine, a compound in pepper, for its potential effects on nutrient absorption and other biological activities, but more study is needed.

Allergen info

Not a major allergen. Pepper is not derived from any of the nine FDA major allergens and does not contain gluten.
