LACK PEPPER is the unripe fruit of the vine piper
nigrum. This vine is grown in many tropical countries like
India, Malaysia, South America and the West Indies.
Its unripe berries are sundried until they shrivel and turn
black and hard.
_ Black peppercorns are more wrinkled and harder than any other pep-

“pers.
’ As the aroma of black pepper fades fast, it is better to grind the pep-

percorns only when needed...

‘the ‘pleasures of pepper as a spice, wars have been foughl, oceans
braved and continents discovered — all for the .sake-of this shrivelled
and bead-like peppercar,

When-the Goths (under Attila the Hun) laid slege- to Rome in A.D.
408, ‘they: demanded a tribute of 3,000 pounds of Pepper and vast
quantities of silver and gold. :

- During the Middle Ages pepper was traded in Europe — ounce for
ounce — for gold. Pepper was used as currency in ihe East and the
_ West for centuries. -

The Chinese called pepper the “‘Fagara of the weslemers”’ ‘and used
it as a substitute for (heir own pepper-like sauces. The Chinese Fagara
pepper is the red brown dried berry of a small prickly ash tree.

Sometimes during the Middle ages pepper was used to pay taxes,
rents and. dowrics. It was so expensive that the English used certain
herbs as a substitute to flavour their meals and preserves,

For centuries after the discovery of the New World by Christopher
Columbus, European nations competed jealously with each other in
colonizing tropical lands in order to corner-the spice market.

The slightly musty and aromatic odour derives from the volatile oils
-of the flesh and skin, while its pungent bite comes from the alkaloids-
Piperine and piperidine — which are contained in the seeds.

AS pepper is neither sweet nor savoury — just pungent — it can be

-‘used in both types of dishes.

. Use peppercorns whole to flavour soup stocks and other cooking dis-
‘hes, When adding 1o dry spice mixtures or marinades, crush them coar-
‘Sely, ,

; Folk medicine says that pepper helps to relieve flatulence and that it
-has diuretic properties.

. Enjoy the agreeable aromatic taste of black pepper with iis warm,
“woody, fresh and pungent smell.
