Black pepper plants are actually vines that can grow up to 30 feet long.
Most often pepper is propagated through vegetative cuttings and interspersed among shade crop trees such as coffee. Conditions for growing black pepper plants require high temps, heavy and frequent rainfall, and well-draining soil, all of which are met in the countries of India, Indonesia, and Brazil-- the greatest commercial exporters of peppercorns. Pepper stimulates salivation and the production of gastric juices so you can digest better and absorb the foods you eat. It has carminative properties too, which help to reduce discomfort and gas buildup in your intestines Pepper gets its spicy heat mostly from piperine derived from both the outer fruit and the seed. Black pepper contains between 4.6 and 9.7% piperine by mass, and white pepper slightly more than that. Pepper is popular because it has a relatively low moisture content, it can be stored for many years without losing its flavor and aroma (especially when in its whole peppercorn form). Black Pepper adds flavor to almost every food of every nation in the world. It is used in rubs, spice blends, salad dressings, and peppercorn blends.Optimum soil temperature for root growth is 26-28°C. A well distributed annual rainfall of 125-200 cm is considered ideal for black pepper. Black pepper can be grown in a wide range of soils with a pH of 5.5 to 6.5, though in its natural habitat it thrives well in red laterite soils.
