A container of black pepper seems to have both black and greyish bits. Why is this the case? Shouldn’t it all just be black?

    Could you post a picture of the container? Black pepper is not completely black through and through. The inside is lighter, which might come across as grey depending.

    According to this article, consistency and the darkness of the color is a sign of the quality of the black pepper. Note that this is talking about the outside layer of the peppercorn, not the inside as moscafj has noted.
