Organic Whole Black Peppercorn

Description

Known for its strong aroma and wound-healing properties, the King of Spices (as black pepper
is commonly called) has really come a long way. From being a mummification spice in ancient
Egypt, to becoming one of the barter spices used in the spice trade in ancient Rome, it’s now
found it’s way into our favorite meals.

But you should be careful where you get your black pepper from.

Why? Because grounded black peppercorn can lose its flavor, taste and healthy nutrients quite
quickly, much quicker than other spices, if it’s not freshly ground. And that’ll mean you’d have
wasted your money and you’re just eating black sand.

That’s why we make sure to gradually prepare our black peppercorn by steaming, instead of
cooking or frying, so it retains most of its moisture and freshness.

Besides adding x flavor to meals, its wound-healing properties are a result of the presence of a
chemical compound called piperine.

Piperine heals wounds quicker because of its strong antioxidant properties. But it also has
anti-microbial, anti-inflammatory and anti-cancer properties, which means it’s good for your
heart health, skin health, can prevent cancer, aging defects like Alzheimer’s, food
poisoning, and even lowers cholesterol.

Black pepper is great if you want to add more depth and spice to your meals, as it has a more
vibrant and powerful flavor than most other peppers. It’s no surprise since black pepper is the
one of the few only peppers that doesn’t belong to the traditional pepper family, Capsicum
anuum. Instead it comes from the Piperaceae family, and the plant is mostly grown in Southern
India and Vietnam.

Black pepper’s strong flavor comes at a cost though; it’s really hot.

So this one’s for you if you’re Italian, Latin American, or you’re in love with hot and spicy.
