Pepper

Piper nigrum

The pepper plant, which belongs to the family Piperaceae, is a climber which clings to trees for shade and support. The spike of unripe berries is picked and they change from red to black as they dry in the sun. Only a very small proportion of the yield, of black pepper is made into essential oil, and the commercial centre for this oil is Singapore. In Nossi Be and the Comorro Islands oil is distilled on the spot and often a good quality oil is produced. A green-yellow oil of great pungency.
