You didn't give a grammatical explanation.
Grinded is the past tense of the verb grind. But the appropriate name for the powdery mass formed after grinding is ground pepper.

"Grinded" is NOT the past tense of the verb "grind".

Simple

ground[/] is also the simple past and past participle of [b]grind, and the past participle of verbs of cooking can be used as adjectives.

So in essence what are you trying to teach us today?

If you carry a plate of pepper that’s dried and put through a machine/mortar/stone and show me I will call it ground pepper

But

When you give me the plate of fresh pepper and tell me to go and grind it I will know you need me to take it to the machine/mortar/stone.

You are correct. I am just saying that the past participle of cooking verbs can be used to modify or describe nouns. Usually, only adjectives describe or modify nouns, verbs don't. But you can use the past participle of cooking verbs as "adjectives" to describe nouns.

This is a very interesting question. I honestly don't know if "powdered pepper" is correct.

Does "powdered" collocate with "pepper"? We can say " powdered milk", or "powdered chalk", but I don't think " powdered pepper" is correct. And I say this because I don't think they collocate.

I think "ground pepper" is the acceptable phrase.

I'd love to read a contrary opinion.

Ground is the past tense of grind.

"ground" is also the past participle.

Simple present= grind
Simple past= ground
Past participle= ground

Even though the simple past and the past participle have the same form, it is the past participle form you are using when you say "ground pepper". The reason is that the simple past cannot be used as an adjective, only the past participle.

Here is a better example

Simple present: break
Simple past: broke
Past participle: broken

You can't say " broke glasses", but you can say "broken glasses". You can't use the past tense as an adjective to describe a noun, but you can use the past participle as an adjective.

There is something called "collocation" in English. That is why you can't say "granulated pepper". " granulated" and "pepper" do not collocate.

That's also why you can say "powdered milk" but you can't say "powdered pepper or powdered sugar".

Ok here is the gist.
A man that is made (is a statement that has the predicate IS MADE) nb: MADE is past participle.
but you can describe him as a MADE MAN turning the MADE to adjective....

Same with what you have.
Pepper that is grinded/ground (past participle)
But can then be GROUND PEPPER. It's more appropriate. wink GRINDED is obsolete past participle.

U getit? wink

Hmmmm...are you insinuating that the simple past and past participle of "grind" used to be "grinded" but it is now obsolete?

I don't know about this. I have to do some research.
