Description
Black Peppercorn (Piper nigrum) fractured to reveal the starch granules within the cell. Like many other seeds, peppercorns contain starch to store energy and nutrients. The pungent alkaloid piperine represents less than 3 percent of the peppercorn's contents. (SEM 2,100x, image width 61 micrometers, bar 10 micrometers)
