Yes one can substitute black pepper for black peppercorns. Peppercorns are essentially pepper in the non ground up form. One may also ground the pepper corns to make them into regular small granuled pepper or just substitute the size in a recipe when using peppercorns.

∙ 13y agoNo. Capsicum plants produce fruits like chili peppers, bell peppers, and others. Peppercorns are more like berries and are not in the same family as capsicum plants.
Capsicum plants have a substance that causes great heat called "capsascin". Peppercorns have a heat-producing substance called "piperazine".
Black peppercorns are the dried unripe fruit of an Indian native, the Piper negrum vine; green peppercorns are the same fruit, differently processed in order to retain their green color. White peppercorns are the seed with the outer fruit removed.
The Piper negrum, or black pepper vine, is a member of the Piperaceae family and isn't related to any of the capsicum family; the genus Capsicum - which includes bell peppers (also known as capsicums) and chili peppers is a member of the family Solanaceae.
