The pepper vine is a climbing plant belonging to the Piperaceae family and thrives in tropical climates. Its leaves are oval-shaped, and it produces small white flowers that turn into berries, the precious pepper grains.
Originating from tropical regions, green pepper was used in various ancient cuisines to add an aromatic dimension to dishes. In particular, the Greek and Roman civilizations valued its unique taste properties. Over the centuries, green pepper has continued to be a key element of gastronomy, finding its place in refined dishes and bringing a touch of freshness to the global culinary palette.
The cultivation of green pepper is a global agricultural practice that extends far beyond its origin in India. Today, Vietnam is the world's leading producer of pepper, followed by India and then Brazil. Green pepper is primarily cultivated in countries within the tropical belt, where the warm and humid climate is ideal for the growth of the pepper vine. Countries like Cameroon, Laos, Malaysia, and Congo cultivate green pepper, contributing to its diversity and cultural richness.
