Black pepper is the world's most traded spice and is one of the most common spices added to cuisines around the world. It is usually dried and used as a spice and seasoning, often paired with salt. Black pepper is produced from the still-green, unripe drupe of the pepper plant. Pepper loses flavour and aroma through evaporation, so airtight storage helps preserve its spiciness longer. Once ground, pepper's aromatics can evaporate quickly; most culinary sources recommend grinding whole peppercorns immediately before use for this reason.
