Our 30-mesh black pepper is the finest in terms of shake that we offer. In addition to culinary use, fine black pepper is—brace yourself—an old-fashioned laundry additive. The “berries” of the plant contain a high degree of piperine, a chemical that reputedly helps to prevent color loss in clothing when added to the wash. For a full load, plan on using 1-2 tablespoons.

Note: The term "mesh" refers to the coarseness of ground pepper, which can range from a fine shake to large granules. (The term literally refers to the size of the holes in the mesh screen through which the spice passes while it is ground.) The higher the number, the finer the pepper. Similarly, a mesh of 12 indicates a grind between coarse and cracked.

Black peppercorns are the dried fruits of Piper nigrum, a perennial vine that is native to India, China and other tropical portions of Asia. The plant is also commercially cultivated in Cambodia, Vietnam, Sumatra, and Malaysia.

The fine texture of this 30-mesh black pepper makes you more likely to sneeze should you take a good whiff of it. But setting ease of inhalation aside, the chemical component thought to be responsible for this reaction is actually nothing to sneeze at. Piperine, the alkaloid that gives 30-mesh black pepper its pungent flavor and aroma, is also the reason the spice is considered thermogenic, meaning that it generates “heat” through metabolic stimulation.
