Pieprz czarny, świeżo mielony
Description
Freshly ground black pepper is characterized by its intense, peppery aroma and sharp, slightly woody flavor; it appears as a fine, dark powder with distinct essential oils released during grinding, which provides a freshness that surpasses pre-ground pepper. Nutritionally, it is low in calories, provides fiber and trace amounts of minerals such as manganese and iron, and the main active compound is piperine, which has antioxidant properties, supports digestion, and may enhance the absorption of certain nutrients. Freshly ground pepper is a versatile seasoning — it pairs well with meats, fish, soups, sauces, salads, eggs, and vegetables, and can be used as a finishing spice for dishes. To preserve its aroma, it is best stored in an airtight container, away from light and moisture; whole peppercorns retain their flavor longer, while ground pepper loses intensity within a few weeks.
