A pinch of black pepper is added to almost every type of recipe imaginable. Once used as
|
|
|
|
currency and presented to the gods as a sacred offering, it is fortunate that this most popular
|
|
|
|
of spices is available throughout the year.
|
|
|
|
Black pepper comes from the pepper plant, a smooth woody vine that can grow up to 33 feet
|
|
|
|
in hot and humid tropical climates. They begin to bear small white clustered flowers after 3 to
|
|
|
|
4 years and develop into berries known as peppercorns. Ground peppercorns produce the
|
|
|
|
spice we call pepper.

A little pepper may go a long way with your health—it might even help ward off breast cancer.
|
|
|
|
A chemical compound in peppercorns called piperine may be able to help prevent a breast
|
|
|
|
cancer tumor from developing, a University of Michigan Cancer Center study suggests.
|
|
|
|
Pepper’s potential cancer-preventing properties are heightened when it’s paired with turmeric;
|
|
|
|
combine the two in a delicious Indian-style dish, such as yellow curry.
