Is peppercorn toxic?

Pepper can be grown in soil that is neither too dry nor susceptible to flooding, moist, well-drained, and rich in organic matter (the vines do not do well over an altitude of 900m (3,000ft) above sea level). The plants are propagated by cuttings about 40 to 50cm (16 to 20in) long, tied up to neighbouring trees or climbing frames at distances of about 2m (6ft 7in) apart; trees with rough bark are favoured over those with smooth bark, as the pepper plants climb rough bark more readily. Competing plants are cleared away, leaving only sufficient trees to provide shade and permit free ventilation. The roots are covered in leaf mulch and manure, and the shoots are trimmed twice a year. On dry soils, the young plants require watering every other day during the dry season for the first three years. The plants bear fruit from the fourth or fifth year, and then typically for seven years. The cuttings are usually cultivars, selected both for yield and quality of fruit.

Peppercorn was once considered a luxury because it has incredible health benefits and is excellent at seasoning bland meals. Lawless, Harry T.; Heymann, Hildegarde (2010). Sensory Evaluation of Food: Principles and Practices. Springer. pp.62–3. ISBN 978-1441964885. As pepper supplies into Europe increased, the price of pepper declined (though the total value of the import trade generally did not). Pepper, which in the early Middle Ages had been an item exclusively for the rich, started to become more of an everyday seasoning among those of more average means. Today, pepper accounts for one-fifth of the world's spice trade. [37] China [ edit ]

Health Benefits of Black Pepper

No, peppercorns are not poisonous. In fact, they have been used safely throughout history.

However, even homemade powder retains its freshness for only 3 months, while whole peppercorns can keep their freshness indefinitely. A single stem bears 20 to 30 fruiting spikes. The harvest begins as soon as one or two fruits at the base of the spikes begin to turn red, and before the fruit is fully mature, and still hard; if allowed to ripen completely, the fruits lose pungency, and ultimately fall off and are lost. The spikes are collected and spread out to dry in the sun, then the peppercorns are stripped off the spikes. [13]
