Black pepper is derived from the still-green, unripe drupe of the pepper plant. To prepare it, the drupes undergo a brief cooking process in hot water, serving to cleanse them and ready them for drying. The application of heat ruptures cell walls in the pepper, accelerating the action of browning enzymes during the drying phase. Over several days, either under the sun or through mechanical means, the drupes dry, causing the pepper skin surrounding the seed to contract and darken into a thin, wrinkled black layer.
• Cancer Prevention: When combined with turmeric, black pepper is believed to have cancer-preventing properties. This combination is commonly
consumed in the form of milk, where turmeric and black pepper are mixed. Often given to individuals suffering from
severe colds, this mixture is rich in antioxidants, vitamin A, and carotenoids, aiding in the treatment of cancer and
other serious illnesses.
• Digestive Health: Black pepper promotes healthy digestion. When consumed in its raw form, it prompts the release of hydrochloric acid in
the stomach, aiding in the breakdown of proteins.
• Skin Care: Dubbed the 'King of Spices,' black pepper is reputed to prevent skin pigmentation such as Vitiligo, a condition
characterized by white patches on the skin
• Weight Management: This versatile spice supports weight loss efforts. Adding it to green tea and consuming the mixture two to three times
daily is recommended, as black pepper is rich in phytonutrients that aid in the breakdown of excess fat.
• Respiratory Health: Common respiratory issues like colds and coughs can be alleviated with black pepper. Simply adding a pinch of black
pepper to green tea can provide relief. Alternatively, a glass of hot milk infused with a pinch of black pepper and
turmeric can also be effective in soothing respiratory discomfort.
White pepper is derived from the peppercorns of Piper nigrum, an evergreen climbing vine. While black, white, and green peppercorns all originate from the same plant, they undergo distinct harvesting and processing methods. White pepper is produced by picking the berry when fully ripe. Its outer layer is then rubbed off, revealing the dried, grayish-white pepper within. Renowned for its mild and delicate flavor, white pepper is often favored in dishes where the presence of black flecks is undesirable, such as white sauces and potato dishes. In Chinese cuisine, ground white pepper enhances the flavor of soups, meat and poultry marinades, and spicier stir-fries. It enjoys popularity in various European culinary traditions as well.
• Antioxidant Properties : White pepper contains flavonoids and vitamins that contribute to its antioxidant properties, aiding in combating harmful
