Cracked black pepper is a term for coarsely ground black pepper.
Cracked black pepper and ground black pepper don’t taste the same, which results from the difference in surface area.

Description
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. Which means that cracked black pepper will keep its flavor for longer than ground black pepper.
Use cracked black pepper in rubs for roasts and barbecued meat. It’s a great spice for steak either before it goes into the skillet or for finishing it before serving.
