Black Pepper

Description

Black Pepper

Black Pepper (Piper nigrum) is often referred to as the “King of Spices.” It is produced from the dried berries (peppercorns) of a climbing vine native to South Asia and has been traded and treasured for thousands of years.

Its warm, pungent flavour enhances a wide variety of savoury dishes, while its naturally occurring compound, piperine, has attracted scientific interest for its potential health-supporting properties and its ability to enhance the absorption of certain nutrients, including curcumin from turmeric.

Inspired Living Black Pepper is carefully selected to deliver exceptional freshness, flavour, and aroma.
