Black pepper is a versatile spice used in a variety of savory dishes, soups, and salads. It holds the title of the world’s most traded spice and has a rich history dating back to ancient times when it was so valuable that it was often used as currency.
The word “pepper” is derived from the Sanskrit word pippali, which refers to long pepper. Fascinatingly, black peppercorns were discovered in the nostrils of the mummified Pharaoh Ramesses II, placed there as part of the mummification rituals after his death in 1213 BCE.
Beyond its culinary uses, black pepper is widely recognized in traditional Indian medicine. It is commonly used as a home remedy to relieve sore throat, throat congestion, and cough.
