McCormick Black Pepper, Ground 18oz 510g
McCormick Ground Black Pepper is finely ground black pepper made from dried peppercorns harvested from the perennial vine Piper nigrum. It delivers classic pepper heat and aroma in a fine, consistent grind that blends easily into foods during cooking.
Compared to coarse or shaker grind pepper, ground black pepper has a finer texture and disperses quickly. This makes it well suited for soups, sauces, stews, gravies, marinades, and recipes where pepper flavor is meant to be evenly distributed rather than visible. Because of its fine grind, it mixes smoothly into liquids and batters without leaving noticeable pieces.
Ground black pepper is often added during cooking so its flavor blends evenly into a dish. For brighter pepper aroma and sharper bite, many cooks prefer to add additional pepper at the table. See Ground Black Pepper FAQ below.
Ground black pepper is the most commonly used pepper style in home and commercial kitchens because it is economical, versatile, and easy to measure. While it does not provide the texture or table presentation of coarser grinds, it remains a reliable choice for everyday cooking where consistent seasoning matters more than appearance.
Packaged in a large 18 oz container, this size is ideal for kitchens that use ground black pepper frequently for cooking and food preparation.

McCormick Black Pepper, Ground 18oz 510g - FAQ
- Q: How is ground black pepper different from shaker grind or coarse grind pepper?
- A: Ground black pepper is more finely ground and blends quickly into foods, making it ideal for cooking and sauces. Shaker grind and coarse grind peppers have larger particles designed for tabletop use or visible texture, while ground black pepper is meant to season foods evenly during preparation.
- Q: Why do many people add black pepper at the table instead of during cooking?
- A: When black pepper is cooked for long periods, some of its aromatic oils mellow or dissipate. Adding pepper at the table allows the heat of the food to release fresh aroma and flavor without fully cooking it off, which is why pepper shakers are commonly used for finishing hot dishes.
- Q: What is ground black pepper best used for?
- A: Ground black pepper is best for cooking where pepper flavor needs to blend evenly throughout a dish. Its fine texture disperses quickly, making it ideal for soups, sauces, gravies, stews, marinades, and batters. Because it mixes smoothly, it seasons foods consistently without leaving visible pepper pieces. Many cooks add ground black pepper during cooking, then finish with additional pepper at the table using a coarser grind for brighter aroma and sharper bite. In lighter-colored foods such as white sauces, mashed potatoes, or cream soups, many cooks prefer ground white pepper, which blends in without visible specks.
