From plantation to package, we monitor the process every step of the way to ensure that every bottle delivers consistent sharp aroma and earthy flavor. In ancient times, peppercorns were rare and valuable. They were used as currency to pay dowries and even rent. Although no longer used as money, pure black pepper is still one of the world’s most valued and beloved spices in all types of food.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eHOW MCCORMICK SOURCES BLACK PEPPER:\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBlack pepper is mostly grown in India, Indonesia, Brazil and Vietnam.\u003c\/strong\u003e For \u003cstrong\u003eROOTS N ORGANICS\u003c\/strong\u003e  Black Pepper, whole clusters of near-ripe berries are harvested by hand before being dried and ground.

Whole peppercorns can last for roughly 3 to 4 years and ground black pepper is best for about 2 years. Pepper does not necessarily spoil like dairy products but can lose its optimal flavor over time. It is recommended to follow the date provided on the package for optimal quality.

It is recommended to have spices away from the stove or sink and kept in a dark cabinet or spice drawer to help retain the quality of the black pepper. Same rules apply for spice racks for keeping it away from the stove and sink but also keep it away from direct sunlight. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eTYPES OF BLACK PEPPER\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCoarse Ground Black Pepper\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eEarthy and sharp, coarse ground black pepper delivers a mild kick of heat that highlights rather than overwhelms other flavors. It’s at home on and in most everything, whether grilled, baked, roasted, sautéed or raw. It’s the essence of Saturday night’s grilled steak and a giant leap forward for Tuesday’s chicken casserole. But those are just the beginning.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eCoarse ground black pepper adds savory spark to any recipe with cheese. Cheese bread and biscuits, cheese dip, Caesar salad with Parmesan, macaroni and cheese, pasta with garlic butter and Romano cheese—all go flavor-forward with the addition of pepper’s sharp taste and aroma.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThere’s something about the pungent kick of coarse ground black pepper that makes chocolate taste even richer. We love adding a pinch to the batter for brownies, rich chocolate cake and chocolate fudge frosting. We don’t know who first had the idea to sprinkle strawberries or peaches with black pepper, but we thank them for it. It’s a surprisingly delicious combination. Serve with whipped cream for added decadence.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWhat can you substitute coarse ground black pepper with? Any black pepper—freshly ground peppercorns, finely ground pepper—will work. Use the same amount of freshly ground peppercorns and just a bit less of finely ground pepper. Taste as you go. If you have no black pepper in the pantry, you can substitute white pepper or a dash of red pepper, also called cayenne. Red pepper is chili pepper and much hotter than black or white pepper, so use a light hand.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003ePure Ground Black Pepper\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eIt’s an essential spice, beloved around the world, with a place of honor by the stove and on the table. Among hot spices, pure ground black pepper delivers only a fraction of the heat you get from chili peppers. That subtle bite means it plays well with many other ingredients, enhancing, but rarely overpowering other flavors. Pure ground black pepper is a must-have for bakers, too, and appears in recipes for biscuits, breads, cake, and cookies. The aroma of this culinary must-have should set your nose tingling.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eA few examples where pure ground black peppers gets star billing are pepper-crusted French steak au poivre, stir-fried Chinese pepper steak and Italian chicken diavolo, or devil’s chicken. You can use pure ground black pepper to add a layer of heat to curries, rubs and marinades that also include chili pepper. Double-down on the heat for Mexican-inspired dishes by including both chili peppers and black pepper.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eBlack pepper mellows with cooking. That’s one reason why the pepper shaker on the table is so important. A dash of pure ground pepper, applied as each diner likes, will perk up any quick- or slow-cooked meal.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhole Black Pepper\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003ePeppercorns aren’t just for grinding at the table or stove. Added whole, they bring gentle heat. Use them in the herb sachet called bouquet garni that flavors long-simmered stocks and stews. Add them to brines for whole chickens, turkeys, and pork roasts. We love to include whole black peppercorns in spice mixes for pickling, too.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eBrining is an excellent way to infuse flavor into larger cuts of meat, such as whole chickens, turkeys, and pork roasts. A good soak in water spiked with salt, sugar and spices before cooking helps them retain moisture as well. Add whole peppercorns to any brining recipe for mouthwatering results.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eFLAVORS THAT GO WITH BLACK PEPPER:\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAdd some more flavor to your meals with these herbs and spices.

In the ancient world, thyme was a symbol of courage and bravery. One of the highest compliments to pay a Greek warrior, for instance, was to say he smelled of thyme. And in the Middle Ages, thyme was used to fend off nightmares.

It adds instant flavor into whatever you’re cooking because our bottles contain garlic and only garlic, and nothing else. Garlic is a member of the lily family, native to Central Asia and cousin to leeks, chives, onions and shallots. It’s the most pungent of the lilies, with a strong flavor and aroma. Unless you’re using it to ward off vampires, as people have done since the 1700s, it pays to use allium sativum with a gentle hand.\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e \u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePaprika:- \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eMcCormick sources whole paprika pepper pods from farmers in warm, dry climates.
