Black pepper (Piper nigrum) is a flowering vine in the Piperaceae family that is grown for its fruit, which is dried and used as a spice and seasoning. When fully mature, the fruit, known as a peppercorn when dried, is approximately 5 millimetres (0.20 in) in diameter, dark red, and contains a single seed, as do all drupes.
