Coarse Black Pepper

With cracked black pepper, the black peppercorns are literally cracked. Cracked black pepper and ground black pepper don’t taste the same, which results from the difference in surface area. The flavor of both forms of black pepper comes from the compounds like piperine and terpenes in the peppercorn.

Cracked black pepper has less surface area so these volatile compounds do not evaporate quickly.In comparison, the fineness of ground black pepper provides a much greater surface area and a much higher rate of evaporation. The result is that cracked black pepper will keep its flavor for longer than ground black pepper. 

The difference in surface area means a difference in pungency. Cracked black pepper has a stronger peppery flavor than ground black pepper. The particle-size difference means a difference in texture with cracked black pepper offering a crunchier texture than ground black pepper.
