How to recognize it
Dark brown to black wrinkled peppercorns, sold whole, cracked or ground. It is not chili or Sichuan pepper.

Used to season meat, vegetables, soups and sauces; whole peppercorns can flavour stocks and marinades.
Grind size and amount change its impact. Pepper pungency is distinct from chili heat. Check seasoning blends for added salt and other ingredients.
