Although the pepper plant had its origin in India, a large demand
for the spice has necessitated commercial cultivation in several parts of South-East Asia
as well.

When fully ripened berries (from the pepper vine), with their
outer covering removed, are allowed to ferment naturally in the sun - the result is
creamy, white peppercorns.
