Black pepper has many healthy properties most people donnow about! It’s not like salt which makes our food less healthy and causes heart diseases when too much is added.
I won’t go into the history of black pepper, but will only tell you that it is often referred as “king of spices” for being known to the world since ancient times!
Black pepper has a strong spicy taste that comes from volatile oils, the main one is piperine. In ground peppers, piperine can evaporate if kept open to the air for a long period. All spices are cheap and available at all seasons! So try to make a maximum benefit out of it!!
