Hot Take: pre ground pepper just as good as freshly ground

Don't believe the propaganda put forth by Big Spice.

Fact: they make money when you buy pepper grinders

Fact: they save money not having to ground the pepper

Fact: the dirty truth is big ass chunks of peppercorn accidentally getting in your food are a tooth hazard.

We have a rechargeable automatic pepper grinder.  For 2 weeks I didn't use any pepper because the battery died and I was too lazy to charge it.  I finally charged it over the weekend and enjoyed pepper on my homemade French fries.  It was delicious.

Fact: it's less convenient than pre ground

depends how you are using it.

 

in most cases i prefer grinding peppercorns. it gives off more aromatics and oils. i also like adjusting fineness for different applications.

Please.

No, fresh ground pepper is superior to pepper that was pre-ground weeks or several months ago as it has a sharper taste and those with a distinguishing palate should be able to taste the difference. It is worth paying the extra for a pepper grinder IMO.

It’s not even close, freshly ground pepper wins.
