McCormick Cracked Black Pepper is made from whole, mature peppercorns that are split into coarse, irregular pieces rather than finely ground. The cracked pieces are larger than standard coarse grind—typically about the size of a mustard seed—providing bold texture and clearly visible pepper on food.
Cracked black pepper delivers a sharp, hot, and woody pepper flavor with a pronounced bite. Because the peppercorns are broken rather than pulverized, more of the natural aromatic oils are preserved, resulting in a stronger pepper-forward taste and a satisfying crunch.
This cut is especially well suited for dry rubs and surface seasoning, where texture and visual appeal matter. Cracked black pepper adheres well to meats and holds up during grilling or roasting, making it a classic choice for steaks, roasts, chops, kabobs, and seafood.
Compared to coarse ground pepper, cracked pepper is larger and more irregular, offering more texture and a more pronounced burst of pepper flavor. Compared to freshly cracked peppercorns, it provides consistent piece size and even coverage without the need for a grinder—ideal for high-volume or repeat use.
Usage Tips for McCormick Cracked Black Pepper
