The origin and variety of black pepper

Black pepper comes from the Piper nigrum plant, which originally grows on the Malabar Coast in southwest India—a region famous for its spices for thousands of years. Today, it is also cultivated in Vietnam, Indonesia, and Brazil. The green berries are harvested, fermented, and dried in the sun until they take on their characteristic black, wrinkled shape. Black pepper has been a global commodity since ancient times—the Romans valued it so highly that they used it as currency, and it shaped trade routes such as the "Pepper Road."
