Question
Is there an Orlah prohibition on pepper?
Answer
In regular pepper – no, in hot pepper there are different varieties. If it comes from abroad, it is permitted in any case because it is doubtful, and doubtful Orlah abroad is permitted. If it comes from Israel, in the Shata variety one should be stringent, in other varieties it is customary to be lenient. Black pepper, since it is perennial, has Orlah, but since it usually comes from abroad, it is permitted.
