Ok. So Black Pepper is a spice that I use in pretty much all of my cooking and I'm pretty sure that is the case for everyone else who does a lot of cooking.
But I never really thought of black pepper as some healthy herb that is filled with amazing health benefits. I just used it daily in my cooking to add some taste and it looks pretty and it always, always makes me sneeze. Lol. Never fails.
Black Pepper originally belongs to South India, but over the years it has been grown in other tropical countries, like Brazil, Indonesia and Vietnam, which is actually considered the largest grower of black pepper.
