“Dustless” pepper, often referred to as “restaurant-style” or “fine-ground” pepper, means the pepper has been ground and sifted to remove any fine, powdery particles, resulting in a smoother, cleaner texture that doesn’t leave residue on the sides of the shaker
Here’s a more detailed explanation:
Purpose:
The goal of “dustless” pepper is to create a more consistent and clean experience when seasoning food, especially in a restaurant setting where appearance matters.
Grinding and Sifting:
The process involves finely grinding the pepper and then sifting out the fine, powdery particles to leave behind a coarser, more uniform texture.
Restaurant-Style:
“Restaurant-style” or “dustless” pepper is often preferred in restaurants because it avoids the mess and appearance issues of traditional ground pepper, where fine particles can cling to the shaker or table.
Fine-Ground:
“Fine-ground” pepper is another term used to describe the same type of pepper, where the grinding process is more focused on creating a smoother, dust-free texture.

-an economically/ecologically important ‘genus’ in the family ‘piperaceae’-
.
It contains about 1,000-2,000 species of shrubs, herbs, and lianas, many of which are dominant species in their native habitat.
The diversification of this taxon is of interest to understanding the evolution of plants.
Pepper plants belong to the magnoliids, which are angiosperms but neither monocots nor eudicots.
Their family, Piperaceae, is most closely related to the lizardtail family (Saururaceae), which in fact generally look like smaller, more delicate and amphibious pepper plants.
Both families have characteristic tail-shaped inflorescences covered in tiny flowers.
A somewhat less close relative is the pipevine family (Aristolochiaceae).
(a well-known and very close relative – being also part of the ‘piperaceae’ – are the radiator plants of the genus peperomia)
.
(the scientific name piper + the common name ‘pepper’ are derived from the sanskrit term pippali, denoting the ‘long pepper’ (p. longum))
