Black peppercorns come from the pepper vine Piper nigrum L. which is part of the Piperaceae family. The fruits are tiny and green (until cooked). They are native to India and cultivated in several tropical regions, including Vietnam. Black pepper enhances many common foods with its piney, sharp taste. It can also deliver a hot sensation in your favorite warm drinks.
