Description

Pepper, commonly called “King of spices”, has dominated the international spice market for ages. Despite
The fact that most pepper originated from South India, a variety of wild pepper is native to Sri Lanka.
Pepper comes from an evergreen climbing tree called Piper nigrum. The woody shrub belongs to the family
Piperaceae. White pepper is processed when the berries of the pepper plant are ripe. The outer skin of the
berry is removed, leaving only the seed inside. The seeds are then dried to make white peppercorns.
