• General Goods

Flavor: Many people have learned that the taste of coarse black pepper is stronger than ground black pepper. This is true due to the blending of table grade pepper (by other manufacturers) with other products, the flavors leaving the smaller grind product faster and the loss of flavor due to heat in grinding (most commercial ground black pepper).
