Black Pepper

The black pepper plant is a perennial, woody, climbing vine that can reach heights of 33 feet tall!

Its scientific name is Piper nigrum, from the family Piperaceae. Its distinctive spicy, pungent, biting flavor is derived from the chemicals piperine, piperidine, and piperettine.

Originally native to the Malabar Coast of India, the pepper plant is cultivated for its fruits, AKA peppercorns.

Black pepper plants bear fruit after 3-5 years. When they begin to turn red, peppercorns are harvested and boiled which causes them to blacken. Then, they are traditionally dried in the sun for many days.

Grinding whole, dried black peppercorns yields the dining table staple we all know and love!

PAPAYA MARINATED BLACK PEPPER STEAKS​

​

3. Pour papaya over steaks in bag or glass baking dish for 1.5 hours in fridge.

7. Remove steaks from fridge and allow to come to room temperature.
