The variety distribution of pepper
1. Black pepper: Black pepper is a flowering vine in the family Piperaceae, native to the Malabar Coast of India, and is cultivated in Guangxi, Guangdong, Yunnan, Hainan and other places in China. Its fruit is pungent, and it is one of the earliest spices used by humans, possibly the most widely used spice today.
2. White pepper: White pepper is the dried, nearly mature fruit of the pepper plant in the family Piperaceae. It has a fragrant aroma and is one of people's favorite seasonings. It is mainly produced in Guangdong, Guangxi, Yunnan and other places. Its surface is yellow-white or pale yellow-white, smooth, with many light-colored linear stripes between the top and the base. Its medicinal value is slightly higher than that of black pepper.
3. Green pepper: Green pepper has a lower level of pungency and is used in duck dishes, cream and dairy products. It is mainly produced in Brazil, Malaysia, Ceylon, Thailand, Singapore and other places.
4. Red pepper: Red pepper is the fruit of the Brazilian pepper tree, native to Brazil, Argentina, Paraguay and other places, and was later introduced to many places, mainly as an ornamental or shade plant. Because it is an invasive plant, the Brazilian pepper tree can be seen in most temperate regions today.
