Coarse ground pepper is a type of pepper that has been coarsely ground, resulting in larger, more visible particles compared to finely ground pepper. It is commonly made from black peppercorns, which are dried berries from the Piper nigrum plant. This coarser texture adds a distinct crunch and burst of flavor to dishes. Chefs often use coarse ground pepper to enhance the taste of meats, vegetables, and salads. It is also popular in seasoning blends and can be added during cooking or as a finishing touch. The larger granules provide a more robust flavor and aroma, making it a favorite among many cooks.
