McCormick Ground Pepper Black, 3 oz

I received this as a freebie through McCormick, in exchange for my honest opinion. I cook with pepper very frequently. I mainly buy peppercorns because in my opinion it's more fresh. I compared McCormick ground pepper to fresh ground peppercorns. Both smelled just as strong, which surprised me. I thought the peppercorn would be more strong. The greatest advantage this product had over peppercorns was the ease of use. With peppercorns you have to grind it, and it gets all over the place when you need to measure it with a measuring spoon. McCormicks packaging has 3 different ways to pour out the pepper. It's less mess and quicker. Definitely a great product to have on hamd when you are im a rush.
