Where the Best Pepper Grows

For some, they are just seeds (although actually they are fruit, or more accurately still, drupes). Dark dry fruit that you grind and sprinkle over a dish. Just a spice, a seasoning, nothing more. Others, however, are literally enraptured by the word pepper. They list exotic varieties and rave about interesting and exciting aromas; the scent of grapefruit, bitter, woody notes or sweet, fruity accents.
