Overview
Black pepper is made from the unripened Piper nigrum bush as it begins to turn red. Black pepper, the dominant pepper from the bush, is a spice with an almost infinite amount of application. It is an ingredient in sauces, gravies, processed meats, poultry, and snack foods. This means it is quite difficult to avoid and can be highly problematic to those with severe allergies.
Those allergic to black pepper may find that they are also allergic to white and green peppercorns. This is due to the fact that green, black, and white peppercorns come from the same fruit (seed pod) but are just from different stages of growth and processing. Identifying a black pepper allergy can help individuals avoid uncomfortable and potentially dangerous allergic reactions, such as hives, swelling, or difficulty breathing.
