Black pepper or Kali Mirch apparently was used as currency in ancient Greece. This seemingly small black spice is power packed with nutrients to improve your health. These include manganese, potassium, iron, dietary fiber, and vitamins C and K can be found in black pepper. It is also a medicinal spice which is attributed to its antibacterial, antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties.

Black pepper can be used with pretty much any dish. Starting from the breakfast, with the mouth-watering egg bullseye which even the single guys can make, to the elaborate dinner dishes that are the pride of the womenfolk. Always crush the whole pepper to experience the full-on taste. Pepper can be powdered with a electric grinder and it is recommended to store quantities of about 100gm for easy access while cooking and as you finish the powerful black powder, grind another 100gm. You may also want to keep pepper seeds in an attractive pepper grinder on the dining table. Stay away from the salt though.
