the bunch of peppercorns don’t change color at the same time. my tatay says to harvest the bunch of pepper corns once one fruit in the bunch has turned red. then they’re sundried til they turn black. :)

It went all over the country highlighting the different agricultural products and how they were produced. I seem to remember them doing a segment on black pepper and how it was grown and processed in Batangas or some other province. Ating Alamin was really a very informative show that I think you would have enjoyed.

Do share what you eventually use the peppercorns for.

I had to order a few Piper nigrum plants for my work in Los Angeles nine months ago and they declined very steeply and are only now just starting to recover.

He’d harvest the “corns” when they turned red and dry them in the sun to make them turn black. Then he’ll take them to the city to exchange (kilo per kilo) for grapes at the city grocery “suki”.
