Organic Black Pepper
Black pepper, also known as kali mirch or peppercorn, is a flowering vine in the family Piperaceae. Black Pepper is obtained from the berries of Piper nigrum. When fresh, it's pale green and slightly soft with a delicate flavor. When dried, it's hard and black (hence its name). It's typically added to dishes near the end of cooking time so that it doesn't lose its flavor or texture. It is an aromatic spice with several health benefits and has been used as a medicinal herb since ancient times. Pepper has long had a reputation as an aphrodisiac, and it is believed that its use in cooking can help alleviate gas pains associated with eating large meals and other digestive issues one may be dealing with. In addition to its culinary uses, black pepper has been used medicinally for centuries as well. The antibacterial properties of black pepper make it useful in treating toothaches and sore throats, while its ability to stop bleeding makes it effective at preventing nosebleeds. This is a key ingredient in Asian cooking, especially snacks, main courses and tea,and is sourced directly from the farms of South India and packed fresh for you. The black pepper powder must be consumed in moderation only to ensure no side effects are seen.
