Assortment Gift Set of 15 Peppers from Around the World

Pepper, which originated in India, arrived in the Western world around 2,500 years ago and quickly won the unwavering favor of physicians and food lovers. So little was known about the pepper plant that, during the imperial era, a legend spread that monkeys harvested it, since the plant grew in places inaccessible to humans. The small, fleshy pepper fruit contains just one seed. Harvested before it is ripe, it is green pepper; when ripe and dried, it becomes black pepper, while white pepper is made by removing the pulp. Since the ancients knew the peppercorns but not the plant, they mistakenly believed that white and black pepper came from two different trees.
