Black Pepper (Piper nigrum) comes from the fruit
of the black pepper plant. Anciently, the black
pepper spice was controlled by traders from
southern Arabia. In order to maintain their
monopoly on the spice, traders would tell stories

pepper. Today, acquiring the spice is much easier,
bringing health and flavor all around the world.
