Black pepper

Natural Black Pepper

Black pepper is the undisputed king of spices—a title bestowed upon it by history and acknowledged by the world for thousands of years. It is extracted from the fruits of the climbing plant Piper nigrum and dried whole with its skin to acquire its distinctive black color and unique pungency. It was once weighed in gold in ancient Roman markets and was one of the main reasons for the great explorations that changed the world map—Columbus himself set out in search of a spice route and reached America! Black peppercorns were found in the nose of Pharaoh Ramses II's mummy, proving its ancient use in Egypt. It contains the unique compound piperine, which makes it indispensable therapeutically and nutritionally—it multiplies the body's absorption of most nutrients and other herbs, including turmeric, by up to 2000%.
