Black Pepper Powder

Description

Latin Name : Piper Nigrum

Origin Country: Brazil

Black pepper (Piper nigrum) is a flowering vine in the family Piperaceae, cultivated for its fruit (the peppercorn), which is usually dried and used as a spice and seasoning.

Black pepper is native to the Malabar Coast of India and is one of the earliest spices known. Widely used as a spice around the world, pepper also has a limited usage in medicine as a carminative (to relieve flatulence) and as a stimulant of gastric secretions.

Black pepper (Piper nigrum L.) is one of the most widely used spices, and the constituent parts of its essential oil contribute to its value. Although traditionally used as a culinary ingredient, fragrant aromatic, and medicine, it is presently used in the food, cosmetic, and pharmaceutical industries.

Benefits: More than just a food flavour enhancer, black pepper offers health benefits thanks to its bioactive compounds, with piperine being the most important. Piperine is a natural alkaloid that gives black pepper its pungent taste. It is also the main component that gives black pepper its health-boosting qualities.

Black pepper helps to digest and absorb the foods you eat. It has carminative properties too, which help to reduce discomfort and gas buildup in your intestines.

A strong immune system is important for helping you avoid illness, and black pepper can help here as well. Its active compounds have a role in boosting white blood cells, which your body uses to fight off invading bacteria and viruses.

Use black pepper as an ingredient in recipes to add flavour and spice to meats, fish, vegetables, salad dressings, soups, stir-fries, pasta, and more. You can also add a dash of black pepper to scrambled eggs, avocado toast, fruit, and dipping sauces for a spicy kick.

When taken by mouth in typical amounts, black pepper is likely safe, and the only side effect you might experience is a burning aftertaste. You may experience indigestion, heartburn, and other gastrointestinal issues, though, if you eat too much.
