Black Pepper (2 oz)

Black pepper is a type of spice made from the dried, unripe fruit of the Piper nigrum plant. It is one of the most widely used spices in the world. Its flavor is pungent and slightly hot, with a strong aroma. It is usually ground into a fine powder prior to use. Black pepper can be used in a variety of dishes, from soups and stews to salads and meats. It is often used to season meats before cooking, as well as to add heat to dishes. It can also be used to enhance the flavor of sauces, dips, and dressings. When cooking with black pepper, it is important to use it sparingly, as its flavor can overpower other ingredients. It is best to use freshly ground pepper whenever possible, as pre-ground pepper tends to lose its flavor quickly.
