Black Pepper

Piper nigrum is a woody vine that clings to trees for support and shade. The simple dark-green almond shaped leaves have prominent veins, and small pale-yellow flowers grow in clusters along flowering stalks known as spikes. The flowers are followed by round, berry-like fruits that resemble tiny green grapes growing in clusters on each spike, turning red as they ripen. Black pepper is a dried unripe fruit. Piper nigrum originated in the forests of the Malabar coast in southwest India, and is now grown in China, Brazil, Indonesia, Madagascar, Malaysia and Vietnam.
