Almost every meat-based recipe cooked in the kitchen makes use of spices and seasonings as one of the ingredients. And the most common of these spices is black pepper.
Black Pepper Is A Potent Antioxidant
Black pepper, which is also called as the “king of spice” and the world’s most traded spice, comes from the berries of the pepper plant that is native to south India. It has been used for centuries as a seasoning and in traditional medicine, especially the ground type, since it is believed to cure several illnesses like toothache, insomnia, constipation, abscess and sunburn.
Black pepper is spicy to the taste but this adds flavor to every meat-based dish. This spiciness is due to piperine, a chemical that is naturally found in peppers. It was believed that this chemical also causes sneezing as it irritates the nostrils. There are people who developed allergies to black pepper, which causes excessive sneezing.
Though spicy, black pepper is full of nutrients. It contains phytochemicals, vitamin K, iron, manganese, protein, fiber, copper, chromium and calcium.
Studies have shown that like herbs, black pepper helps relieve respiratory disorders such as cough and common colds. It is also effective in treating constipation, diarrhea, anemia, indigestion, dental and heart diseases and impotency.
In promoting intestinal health, black pepper like herbs, increases the secretion of hydrochloric acid in the stomach and facilitates digestion, thereby preventing the occurrence of colic (intestinal gas), diarrhea and constipation. Hydrochloric acid is particularly needed in the digestion of proteins and other food components.
Not only that, black pepper is believed to cure vitiligo, a skin disease where the skin loses pigments, making the skin turn white. It is the chemical piperine that stimulates the skin to produce pigments.
