Black pepper is one of the most versatile spices used in virtually in all savory cooking. In order to keep the fragrance and flavor intact, it is generally ground just before preparing dishes and added at the last minutes in the recipes (because prolonged cooking results in evaporation of essential oils).
Here are some preparation tips:
- Black peppercorn along with other spices and seasonings, used to marinate chicken, fish, and meat.
- It is used liberally in vegetarian and chicken curries. In the Middle-East, this pepper is used in meat and rice dishes.
- They can be used in the preparation of soups, barbecue sauces, pickling and as main ingredient in variety of curry powders.
- Although preferred in savory foods, this spice is also used in sweet preparations like fruitcakes, breads, pies to add spicy note.
- In Pakistan and India, black peppercorn powder is mixed with salt, and the mixture is a common item on serving table in restaurants. The mixture is used as sprinkle over vegetable/fruit salads, chats, lemonades, in soups etc. Lassi (churned yoghurt) is often flavored with this spice-salt mixture in Punjab province.

What is white pepper powder?
White pepper is from exactly the same plant as black pepper (Piper Nigrum), sometimes called "peppercorns". White pepper is actually a black peppercorn, but with the shell removed - this means that white pepper is slightly mellower in taste. White pepper has the advantage that, when used in a dish where ground black pepper would be visible, it can be used for a more aesthetically pleasing result. For example, when black pepper is used to season scrambled eggs, it leaves visible black specks. This can be unnerving to a diner who would not usually expect to find black specks in their food; using white pepper negates this situation without compromising on taste.
How are black pepper plants economically important?
As black pepper is both a consumer product (you buy it to fill your pepper shaker) and an industrial product (you buy it to make packaged food which you will then sell), and there is a good yet essentially stable demand for black pepper, the plants which grow the product are a small yet beneficial part of our economy.
