black pepper

Black pepper is obtained from the fruit of an Indian plant. This plant flowers and then bears fruit, and when the fruits are dried, they are ground into powder—and that becomes the black pepper we know! Black pepper is less spicy than red pepper and has more aroma and fragrance. That is why using it can be entirely a matter of personal taste. Some people use both peppers together. Black pepper is used not only in food to add flavor, but also as a seasoning for various fast foods, and usually in our homes you can find a pepper shaker full of black pepper. In addition, black pepper is used to marinate chicken; sometimes together with olive oil, yogurt, and lemon juice, and sometimes all by itself as a wonderful flavoring for chicken.
