Native to South and Southeast Asia, it grows wild in the western mountains of India above the coastal plain that runs along the Arabian Sea. Major areas for Black Pepper cultivation are in Vietnam, Indonesia, India, and Brazil.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt has been used in Indian cooking for at least 4,000 years, and was used in preparing Ramses II for mummification. It was treasured by the Greeks as far back as the fourth century BCE, and later by the Romans and Medieval Europeans. Black Pepper is known today as the single most traded spice, amounting to 20% of the world’s spice trade.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhile of course Black Pepper is popular nearly everywhere as a cooking spice, it has also been used medicinally since ancient times. Its value as a stimulant to appetite and digestion, a remedy for nausea and vomiting, and a versatile tonic for many conditions affecting the gastrointestinal tract, clearly tie in with its role in food preparation. It is said to be beneficial for diabetes, obesity, hyperlipidemia, and hypertension as well.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMany uses have been documented from folk medicine: “In India it has been used as a medicine since time immemorial for the treatment of anything from paralysis to toothache.” Black Pepper’s effects seem to be linked mainly to its volatile oils and alkaloids, particularly piperine. Its traditional uses involve effects such as immunomodulatory, anti-oxidant, anti-asthmatic, anti-inflammatory, anti-ulcer, and anti-amoebic, analgesic, anticonvulsant, antidepressant and cognitive-enhancing activity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe piperine in Black Pepper also enhances the assimilation of many phytochemicals and medications. Many Turmeric supplements, for instance, are formulated with Black Pepper, which significantly increases the bioavailability of Turmeric’s anti-inflammatory components such as curcumin. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThere are just so many good reasons to keep that Pepper grinder handy!
