Piper nigrum: The peppercorn plant belongs to the piperaceae plant family. It is a woody evergreen vine that grows up to 11 yards tall and has dark-green, broad, somewhat oval shaped leaves. They use aerial roots to help them cling to, and climb trees.

Peppercorn plants have small white flowers that bloom in clusters of up to 150 florets and hang down a spike. These flowers then ripen into the little berries that we know as peppercorns. It takes several years for a young plant to flower and begin to produce fruit (the peppercorns).

Since peppercorn plants prefer a hot, humid, tropical environment, they are mostly produced in India, although they are produced in Indonesia, and Brazil. Black pepper often takes on the name of the region where it was produced, or the port it was exported from. Malabar, Tellicherry, Singapore, Bangkok, Sarawak, and Belém are common examples of this.

Three different kinds of peppercorns are produced by Piper nigrum: Black, white, and green.

These pepper berries will be ready to harvest for white peppercorns once they all fully mature and turn red.
