After eating its unripe and ground-up fruits everyday for several decades, I've finally come face to face with the plant. It's a face that has literally launched a thousand ships. For example, Christopher Columbus was sent by the royal court to find a better route to get at this spice (and others), which was called black gold, and used as currency in Europe and beyond. Instead he landed in the Americas and colonized the "Indies", "Indians", and a different "Pepper" (Capsicum spp.) Black Pepper (Piper nigrum) was first cultivated at least four thousand years ago in Kerala, on the Malabar coast of Southern India. It has many medicinal uses in India and throughout Asia (including Ayurveda and Chinese medicine), and was used in mummifying rituals in Egypt.

Did you know that black pepper grows as a vine? Well, ours is finally forming fruit! Black pepper has been used in India, where it is native, for at least 4,000 years. Arab traders brought black pepper to Arabia and Egypt, and from there it found its way into Europe. Peppercorns can be used whole or ground as a spice found in cuisines throughout the world. Green, black, white, and red pepper all originate from the same plant. Green peppercorns are the immature fruits, which are harvested before turning red. Black pepper is obtained by harvesting fully grown but still green fruits, which are then sun dried. Red peppercorn are fully ripe fruits and white pepper, which has the strongest pungency, is made from ripe fruits. With the outer red hull removed. Pepper has also been used since ancient times as medicine against a variety of illnesses like insomnia, indigestion, and liver problems, among many others. ・・・ #growninhaiti #blackpepper #peppercorn #pipernigrum #growth #foodforest #diversity #agroforestry #vinelayer #vine #fruiting #haiti #ayiti #sustainablefoodsystem #nogmos #organic #nopesticides #homestead #noherbicides #tropical https://www.instagram.com/p/CO0flksF6Nl/?igshid=1en2c8gy4g43j

I posted about the Brazilian pepper tree the other day and thought that it would be beneficial to show how actual black pepper (Piper nigrum) looks like. Grows as a woody vine and can climb trees using its roots up to 26 feet tall. In this case, a helpful mushroom helped anchor this part of the vine to this tree stump. Pepper has been known in Indian cuisine for at least 4,000 years. Arabs brought the pepper to Arabia and Egypt, and from there it found its way into the Roman Europe during the Middle Ages, black peppercorns were a highly prized trade item, often referred to as black gold. Green, black, white, and red pepper all originate rom the same plant. Green peppercorns are the immature fruits, which are harvested before turning red. They must be kept in brine, oil, or vinegar to prevent them from turning black through oxidation. Black pepper is obtained by harvesting fully grown but still green fruits, which are then sun dried. During this process the fruit turns black and wrinkle. Red peppercorn are fully ripe peppercorns. White pepper, which has the strongest pungency, is made from ripe fruits with the outer hull removed. ・・・ #growninhaiti #blackpepper #pipernigrum #peppercorn #vine #foodforest #diversity #agroforestry #freshfromthesource #variety #spice #teamwork #haiti #ayiti #organic #foresttoface #nogmos #nopesticides #noberbicides https://www.instagram.com/p/CAVN7qIlrgB/?igshid=1hamt480vz6vz
