Native to India, black pepper is a flowering woody vine that bears small white blooms and, most importantly, tiny fruits known as drupes. When dried, this fruit takes on its familiar peppercorn form, and this is the source of its oil. Long prized in traditional practices and historically highly valued in trade, black pepper is a ubiquitous spice found on tables throughout the world, typically with its sodium companion, salt. Bearing a scent that is spicy, dry, and clear, black pepper is found in massage oils and even some perfumes.
