'''Black pepper''' (''Piper nigrum'') is a [[flowering plant|flowering]] [[vine]] in the family [[Piperaceae]], cultivated for its [[fruit]], known as a '''peppercorn''', which is usually dried and used as a [[spice]] and [[seasoning]]. The fruit is a [[drupe]] (stonefruit) which is about {{convert|5|mm|in|abbr=on}} in diameter (fresh and fully mature), dark red, and contains a [[Pyrena|stone]] which encloses a single pepper [[seed]]. Peppercorns and the ground pepper derived from them may be described simply as ''pepper'', or more precisely as ''black pepper'' (cooked and dried unripe fruit), ''green pepper'' (dried unripe fruit), or ''white pepper'' (ripe fruit seeds).<ref name=kind>{{cite web |url=https://www.foodrepublic.com/2016/01/27/what-are-the-different-kinds-of-peppercorns/ |title=What Are The Different Kinds Of Peppercorns? |last=Harrison |first=Paul |date=2016-01-27 |website=Food Republic |language=en-US |access-date=2019-11-21}}</ref>

Ground, dried, and cooked peppercorns have been used since antiquity, both for flavour and as a [[traditional medicine]]. Black pepper is the world's most traded [[spice]], and is one of the most common spices added to cuisines around the world. Its spiciness is due to the chemical compound [[piperine]], which is a different kind of spicy from the [[capsaicin]] characteristic of [[chili pepper]]s. It is ubiquitous in the Western world as a [[seasoning]], and is often paired with [[salt]] and available on dining tables in [[salt and pepper shakers|shakers]] or [[burr mill|mills]].
