Ethiopia can't be the world's largest producer of black pepper

[edit]

According to this paper from 2020 – https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/23311932.2021.1915558 – chili pepper is the most commonly produced spice in Ethiopia, and «accounts for over 80% of total spice produced in the country». I think someone must have been mixing black pepper with chili pepper.

Chilis being 80% of Ethiopia's spice output does nothing to affect the fact (cited to the FAO, a worldwide UN agency) that Ethiopia is the world's largest producer of black pepper. Those figures are not talking about the same thing at all. oknazevad (talk) 14:20, 18 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Heads up: Traditional Chinese Medicine often falls into the FRINGE medicine category, so you may encounter some strong opposition here with additions along that line. You may want to redirect your efforts into something more productive. GenQuest "scribble" 01:03, 1 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

What is Pepper Spirit? (From an uncited sentence)

[edit]

In the section on black peppercorns, there is the following sentence:

"After the peppercorns are dried, pepper spirit and oil can be extracted from the berries by crushing them."

I wasn't sure what this referred to and went looking for further information, but found none, and also as a result noticed that this sentence has no apparent source (and the citation before is, to my untrained eye, fairly spurious). Megid0nt (talk) 19:16, 17 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

 Fixed with this edit. Feel free to improve further and add sources. Zefr (talk) 15:59, 18 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
