McCormick Culinary Coarse Grind Black Pepper, 5.0 lb

Black pepper is a critical ingredient in practically every meal served at tables around the globe. Known as the king of spices, black pepper is undoubtedly on your list of essential condiments at any high-volume establishment. McCormick® Culinary® Black Pepper is coarse ground and has a mesh size of 10. If you prefer a finer texture, you can pour this coarse black pepper in an adjustable-grind type grinder with the mesh size you desire. Black peppercorns offer their most robust flavor after they mature or ripen. Piperine, a compound found in the peppercorn's skin, gives black pepper its signature taste. Want more heat from the piperine to shine through? Just add more pepper to your recipes! Peppercorns give off a wonderfully pungent aroma, as well as complex notes of citrus. Take McCormick Culinary Coarse Grind Black Pepper's flavor-enhancing properties to the next level by adding other herbs and spices to your dish. For example, while adding coriander may bring out ground pepper's citrus notes, adding rosemary can highlight that delicious pine flavor. Certain berries magnify the woodsy flavors of McCormick's coarse black pepper, too. Ground black pepper comes in a 5-pound bulk container with a shaker top and spout, allowing easy dispensing for soups, salads, eggs and steaks. If you just want a dash, simply use the shaker option. When your recipe calls for more, use measuring spoons to get the right amount. Black pepper arrives ready to use with no preparation necessary. You can store it between uses when handled properly, even if you don't use the spice daily.

(2) Avoid exposing the product to direct sunlight, fluorescent light, heat and humidity to maintain the flavor and color.
