Black Pepper

The plant belongs to the Piperaceae family.

Its scientific name is Piper nigrum. The small round fruits, known as peppercorns, grow in clusters along the vine. When harvested while still green and then dried, they develop their characteristic dark colour, bold aroma and warm, spicy flavour.

Black pepper contains a natural compound called piperine, which is responsible for much of its pungent taste and is also known for enhancing the absorption of certain nutrients and plant compounds, including curcumin from turmeric.
