Black pepper is grown from a young age and grows up to bear fruit from an early age. When the pepper starts to age and ripen, it is the farmer’s harvest. Pepper is harvested and bagged and preserved by farmers after being dried in the middle of pepper for supply to the world.
Black pepper is used as medicine, cooked in hot water, washed and dried. Heat breaks down the cell walls in the pepper, promoting the activity of browning enzymes during the drying process.
Pepper is sun-dried or machine-dried for several days, then the pepper skin around the seeds will shrink and darken into a thin layer of black wrinkles.
Once dried, this spice is known as black pepper. In some areas, black pepper is cut off the stalk by hand and then dried in the sun without boiling.
When the pepper is dry, essential oils and the pepper can be extracted from the fruit by crushing them. Pepper is used in many beauty and healing products. Pepper oil is also used as an Ayurvedic massage oil and in several beauty and herbal remedies.
