Black pepper: what it is, how to pick and store it
The dried berries of a tropical vine, sold whole as peppercorns or ground. Freshly ground pepper is sharper and more fragrant than pre-ground.
How to pick it
Whole peppercorns in a grinder taste best; pre-ground pepper is fine for rubs and big batches.
How to store it
A closed jar away from heat and light. Whole peppercorns hold their flavor far longer than ground pepper.
