Black Pepper is considered the 'king of spices' and rightfully so. Unlike its perennial companion, salt, which is easily available in any nook and corner of the world, the black pepper owes its origins India. Pepper and peppercorn are at times talked off in the same breath. However, to set the record straight, peppercorns are the fruit of the piper nigrum flowering vine, while black pepper is the ground up peppercorn.The word “pepper” is a derivation of the Sanskrit word pippali, in Latin piper, and pipor in Old English. In India, Malabar was the first home for black pepper and the finest Indian pepper continues to come from this region. Even before Alexander the Great set foot on the Indian soil, the flavour of pepper was well known to the people of this region. It has been around since time immemorial. This
is one spice that was prevalent in Biblical times too. It was later in the Middle Ages that pepper attained a new found status in the world of “fine cooking”. The importance of this spice exceeds its culinary uses.
It was considered as a valuable commodity that could serve as tribute. In 410 CE, when the Huns lay siege of Rome, 3000 pounds of pepper was demanded as ransom. Such is the prominence that pepper enjoyed in ancient times.
Green pepper is often frozen and dried. It is then preserved and used in soups and salads. The processed food industry uses it in sauces and other preparations. On the other hand, black pepper is a household name; it is used the world over and is a universally accepted ingredient in almost all applications where spice is used, except in sweets and desserts. In comparison, white pepper is used less frequently. This can be attributed to the fact that it is less pungent and suits those who have a milder palate. Black pepper has a longer shelf life than the white pepper – the reason being that the white pepper has been on the vine longer and hence its lifespan gets reduced. Health wise, both these variations of pepper, i.e., black and white, are of immense value. Black pepper, though pungent and fiery in taste, is said to be sweetness personified in the digestive tract. It aids the process of digestion and helps battle any bacterial growth in the intestinal tract. A sure-fire remedy for colds and coughs, it also boosts metabolism, aids weight loss, treats skin problems, reduces heart and liver ailments, and also helps reduce the risk of cancer.
