PEPPER

Wooden pepper grinders are better than plastic or metal grinders. The wood helps keep out heat, light and humidity.

Ground white or black pepper:
1 pound = 5 cups
1 ounce = 5 tablespoons

Whole peppercorns: 3 cups = almost 5 ounces

Black Pepper has a sharp, penetrating aroma and a characteristic woody, piney flavor. It is hot and biting to taste.
