Black pepper
Black pepper, scientifically known as Piper nigrum, is one of the most commonly used and widely recognized spices in the world. It is native to India and is derived from the dried berries of the black pepper plant. Black pepper has been used in traditional medicine for its potential health benefits. It contains piperine, a compound that is believed to have antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. Piperine may enhance the bioavailability of certain nutrients, such as curcumin from turmeric.
