Black pepper comes from the dried berries of the piper nigrum vine. This climbing vine uses trees or other supports to grow and can grow to about twenty feet high if allowed but is usually kept around twelve feet for commercial purposes. The word “pepper” was derived by the Greeks and Romans, from the Latin word “piper”, which was taken from the Sanskrit phrase “pippali”.
