Real peppercorns
<p>Le Poivre est originaire de la Côte de Malabar au sud-ouest de l'Inde. C'est une liane qui appartient à la famille botanique des Pipéracées.On en trouve aujourd'hui dans de nombreux pays de la ceinture tropicale. Le vrai poivre est issu des lianes tropicales de Piper Negrum dont on tire le poivre blanc, noir, rouge ou vert, et Piper Longum, le poivre long. D'autres se présentent sous la forme d'une baie portant une queue. Les faux poivres possède tout le piquant des vrais poivres. Certains sont plus doux ou plus fruités. Ils sont en fait issus d'une autre plante, bien différente du Piper.</p> -

False Peppercorns
<p>Les faux poivres possèdent tout le piquant des vrais poivres. Ils ressemblent véritablement aux vrais poivres ; d'aucuns sont doux, fruités ou relevés. Néanmoins ils sont issus d'une autre plante que le Piper Nigrum. Dans les temps anciens,"le Roi des épices" était une monnaie d'échange, longtemps réservé à une élite. Conscients de ce potentiel et de cette valeur, producteurs et marchands ont appelé les "faux poivres" les baies roses, baies de Sechuan, de Timut et autres épices, présentant elles-aussi un intérêt certain.</p> -
