Pepper, black

Black pepper is a spice made from dried peppercorns, used whole or ground as a seasoning. The figures here describe black pepper and are drawn from literature sources. Per 100g, it provides 25g of fibre, 10g of protein, 164µg of vitamin K1 and 0.05g of salt.

Fibre supports normal bowel function, while vitamin K is needed for normal blood clotting. Black pepper is usually used in small amounts, so its contribution to nutrient intake is much lower than the figures per 100g might suggest. Its salt content is low, which may be relevant to people monitoring their salt intake. Full nutritional figures are provided in the tables below.
