WHAT IS BLACK PEPPER 

Black pepper (Piper nigrum) is a spice that comes from the dried fruit of the pepper plant that is picked when almost ripe and then dried until it is black. Having a distinctive spicy taste and sharp aroma, black pepper is widely used as a cooking spice throughout the world. In addition to its function as a flavor enhancer, black pepper is also rich in health benefits, including helping to increase metabolism, improve digestion, and have antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. The piperine content in black pepper can also increase the absorption of nutrients such as vitamin B and selenium in the body, as well as support brain health and the immune system.
