Thank you, liuzhou! So to use, you toast everything and then grind everything into powder, is that right? I've done further research and have found sites that say to discard the black seeds. Do you think this is because of regional differences?
Yes. I toast them lightly then grind. I too have seen mention of discarding the black seeds, but never met anyone who does so.
ETA: That said, the peppercorns I get here are probably better quality and fresher than what you get in the USA. I see very few black seeds.
