Pairing: Simon ‘Ghost’ Riley x Desi!Fem!Reader
Summary: Simon see his girlfriend in a saree for the very first.
Warnings: Simon being whipped, slight spice at the end, my horrible writing skills
Word Count: 1.2k
A/N: whoever reads this thank you for doing so! i really wanted to see Ghost with a desi reader because i’m highly self-indulgent and can’t bring myself to watch another lecture today ^^ Again I do apologise for my writing, it has been a very long time since I’ve written anything descriptive :/
———————
“Love, you in here?”
“In the kitchen, Jaanu!”
Stirring the piping hot mixture, a beautiful woman in red slowly added milk. Continuing her stirring she paid no mind to the footsteps approaching the kitchen doorway. Each step grew heavier than the next. Her boyfriend had just come back from a short mission with his task force. A simple one which barely lasted a few days yet she knew something was amiss. Call it a gut feeling but she knew despite its simplicity the mission took a toll on her boyfriend. Deciding to do something sweet for him, she decided to make him Chai. To be more exact she was making Masala Chai, a very popular drink in South Asia consisting of black tea in milk and water with sugar, herbs and spices. It was a comfort drink she saw her parents drink while growing up. Its flavour brought about contentment and satisfaction followed by a soothing warm feeling. A perfect beverage for someone who needed to relax a bit.
Walking towards the kitchen in the home they shared, Simon slowly discarded the hoodie he was wearing. Shedding his skull mask he came to a stop right at the doorway. A wonderful aroma hit his nostrils. The smell itself made the man feel all warm inside. However, the real highlight of his return is the sight that greeted him. It left the man speechless. His heartbeat quickened. He felt his breath get caught in his throat. Unable to find it in himself to disturb the peace, Simon leaned against the doorway. Crossing his arms, he let out a small sigh. Right in front of him was his gorgeous girlfriend in a beautiful red saree; granted he didn't know exactly what it was but the behemoth of a man was enthralled nonetheless.
The silky red fabric sat stretched around her hips. The fabric flowed all the way down to the kitchen floor and shifted with every small movement. It almost seemed like it was floating in tendrils around her. One end of the Saree draped over her shoulder, leaving her back bare to his hungry eyes. What truly caught Simon’s eyes was the single knot tying a deep red blouse on the woman’s upper back, leaving her nasal completely free. The tassels at the end of the strings seemed to jump every time she moved. It would be so easy to untie them. A simple tug and they would come loose.
So, so easy.
Simon wanted to ravage her there and then. There his girlfriend stood innocently preparing chai for him after a long few days away. Yet here he was, thirsting away just from seeing her back, just from seeing her in that enchanting red piece. It was so seductive to the man that he almost let out a low groan. Who could blame him though? His beautiful girlfriend looking even more divine than usual in that red sari was standing right in front of him. Just within arms reach. Showing her love for him by making something that meant something to her. Making something that she treasures and values so much due to how deeply entwined it is with her culture and childhood. Making it for him. How could he not be attracted to her? How could he control the urge to worship her, worship the ground where she stood?
Finally deciding that he could admire her more up close, Simon made his way towards his lover. Grabbing her hips, careful not to disturb her stirring, he pulled her towards his chest. Feeling her soft skin against his chest almost sent the man’s eyes rolling backwards. Sensing her lover behind her, the woman slowly lowered the flame until it was no more and tilted her head up. Sparkling eyes met tired ones and instantly Simon captured her lips in a soft kiss. She spun around in his arms, careful to stay clear from the hot stove and wrapped her eyes around his neck.
“Evenin’, Love.”
“Hi, Ghostie,” she said grinning ear to ear. That grin. That damned grin made him want to get on his knees for her. Eyes softening, he leaned in closer till their foreheads were millimetres apart. His eyes trailed down. One hand went to her back to hold the red fabric in between his fingers. Ruffling it between his fingers, he lifted his gaze to meet hers.
“And what’s this pretty thing you’re wearing?” he asked. Grin widening even more she pushed him back a bit. Making enough room between the two of them for her to twirl around yet still allow him to hold onto her.
“It’s a saree. It’s actually one I bought a long time ago and didn’t know when to wear it. Felt like being extra pretty today so I decided to put it on.” she said. Looking down she held onto her skirt and lifted it slightly.
“It’s slightly complicated but not really at the same time. It’s mainly just a long piece of fabric you wrap around your waist, pleat and then throw over your shoulder. Under the main skirt area, you wear a petticoat and on top, it's a fitted blouse, we call it Choli,” she explained. Continuing her small rant, she seemed to get lost in her own little world.
Simon couldn’t help but stare at her. Heart full of love and endearment for the woman in front of him. Listening to her drone on and on about something she was so passionate about was a favourite activity of his. The way her eyes would light up and widen. The way her hands would move to suit emphasis her points or exaggerate them. The way the room seemed to light up around her. Simon Riley was a man completely and utterly smitten by her and he wouldn’t have it any other way.
“But the thing that pissed me off the most was how the pins kept pricking me!” she exclaimed. “You’d honestly think that wearing this for over ten years would reduce the number of pinpricks you get but that’s a load of bullshit!”
Before she could continue with her mini-rant, Simon lifted her chin and brushed his lips against her. Instantly, she went quiet and stared at him wide-eyed. Her breath got caught in her throat and she could only focus on the darkening eyes peering into her. The air thickened around them. A new tension slowly builds in both of them. Licking his lips, Simon says, “How about you take your pretty little self up to the bedroom and lay down, Love.”
“Need my Princess to be comfortable while I ravage every inch of you.” Slowly feeling herself becoming a lot smaller she absently nodded her head. Apparently, that wasn’t enough for Simon. Pulling her closer, he held her hips in a way that there would definitely be bruises the following morning. Making sure every inch of his body was pressing into her, Simon leaned in close to her ear. Breath tickling the sensitive point right above her ear, she shivered in anticipation.
“Now be a good little doll and move along. Wouldn’t want me to get impatient and ruin this beautiful saree you have on,” he continues. “Would be an absolute shame to stain it.” Still, she remains rooted where she stands; absolutely dazed by the way Simon was caging her in. Almost as if he was trying to consume her right there and then. Grabbing her jaw, he gave her a look, a warning. Either listen to his orders or face the consequences. But honestly, knowing him and what he can do, would facing the consequences actually be a bad thing?
Maybe she’ll wear the red saree more often.

Anonymous: when's the tierlist for wriothesley's tea choices (boba tea, green tea, etc.)
“ you didn't specified if i should make a tier list based on taste of praticality, so i'll go with the former. ”
“ in first place, i'd have to put specific kinds of black tea- as much as some people may find these too strong, some sugar and perhaps milk into it makes it more enjoyable on a less experienced first-taster, and ensures that they will come back for more. i find a warm earl grey after an hard day at work just as relaxing as a good night's sleep. ”
“ a second close, if my favorite isn't available, for me would be masala chai tea. i'm an avid consumer of that particulary in the harsh winter, when the temperature drops and joints are prone to stiffen with the frigid bite of the cold. you warm some chai tea up with cinnamon and you can just feel yourself reinvigorated and warmed up like you just swallowed a very sweet heather. ”
“ pu-ehr tea deserves second place, and by a long shot. mind you, i'm a sheng pu-ehr enjoyer- there's never too much time spent brewing tea, as long as it comes out fine- and getting that rich, earthy flavor after many hours of fermenting the leaves feels like a proper reward. ”
“ but i'm rambling at this point- ahem. third place belongs to the oolong tea, both in terms of taste and praticality: oolong can be brewed again and again, many times, and each brewing subtly changes the flavor- it's like tasting a new kind of it each time. put a milk oolong in my grave before i die, so i can have my spirit lifted one last time, thank you very much- oh, and third place is also shared with rooibos, and the great rooiboi chai. i think that, once i'm done replying to this, i will go and brew myself a particular warm one- this has ignited some cravings. ”
“ deserving of fourth place, there's white tea- very delicate, but packs a good punch with its flavor and may be just what you need if you wish to enjoy some cups without worrying too much about the excessive caffeine in it. purple tea goes in fourth place too. ”
“ green tea gets fifth place- but only because of the Dragon Well. i tried it once, and now it's a must-have in a cold winter night. just trust me on this: try it. you won't know what hit you. ”
“ i've tried boba tea, and enjoyed it- particulary digging around for the tapioca balls. very squishy, very tasty and satisfying to munch on. however, i prefer warm tea to cold- so i'm gonna have to do it a disservice and assign the sixth place to it. a shame, i know. i'll find a way to repent for this sin. ”
“ seventh and last place, i'd have to assign to matcha and mate teas. not a big fan of that slight hint of bitterness- feels like someone is pinching my throat. even if it can be overwrote with some simple spells- also, there's just no fun in adding some powder to a cup of water and mixing it in- or just by steeping some leaves in an infuser. i like taking my time in brewing a blend completely, and tasting the efforts and my time spent on what i taste. ”
#( ANSWERED. ) ━ break's over; back to work.#i spent an HOUR AND HALF looking up all kinds of tea i-#what is this muse making me BECOME?

Peru: Exploring Cusco City
First on today’s agenda was picking up a SIM card at Plaza de Armas so that I would have access to maps and internet while travelling around Peru. With that set up, I headed back to D’Wasi for a flat white and chicken curry empanada which was an ideal breakfast. I wandered the Cusco streets a little bit and stumbled upon a good supermarket where I bought a few snacks for the Rainbow Mountain tour tomorrow and a choccie milk for now, although when I sat down on a bench to drink it people kept coming over to harass me about buying their stupid mass produced “paintings”. The San Pedro market was one thing - very relaxed without people harassing you, but out on the city streets it’s another story! I walked up some extremely steep streets to San Cristobel church for the ultimate view over Cusco as a few drops of rain started to fall. Of course the best seat right at the top of the stairs was taken by some guy harassing people to book a horse tour. With the storm on the way, I headed for an indoor activity and chose the chocolate museum for some free samples and stayed for a hot chocolate with marshmallows on the balcony as it rained on. My legs were still aching from walking down from Machu Picchu so I took a little break to rest and charge my phone for a while. When I eventually went back out I caught a huge event at Plaza de Armas, there was a band and a bunch of dancers which had drawn in a crowd in front of the cathedrals. Next I was in search of a sweater as a souvenir and found one in the third shop I browsed for 40 soles which seemed reasonable (about $12), I was also looking at the hats she had but didn’t really like any of them that much. She kept offering me one that was okay for 20 soles but I said I’d only pay 10, so 50 for the sweater and the hat. Because I wasn’t really fussed either way I drove a hard bargain and she reluctantly folded the hat into the bag with the sweater and took my 50 soles. I wandered the streets a bit more until I finally felt hungry and went for dinner at Taste of India as I was craving a curry. The tikka masala was made with cottage cheese chunks instead of any meat so I mostly just ate my naan and rice with sauce. Around 7pm I was in bed trying to sleep because my tour was collecting me at 3am although I was a bit restless. Also, the other people in my room were super loud until late so I didn’t get as much sleep as I would’ve liked and at 2.30am my alarm woke me up to start the long day at Rainbow Mountain.

How to Develop Unique Tea Flavors and Blends – Basketleaf
Creating unique tea flavors and blends is a fantastic way to make your tea business stand out. Whether you’re catering to traditional tea lovers or adventurous consumers, the art of tea blending allows you to design distinctive flavors and attract loyal customers. For entrepreneurs with best business under ₹1 lakh , blending can be an affordable way to differentiate your brand while keeping costs low.
In this guide, we’ll explore practical steps to develop your own tea blends, tips for sourcing ingredients affordably, and how to keep your business budget-friendly.
Why Develop Unique Tea Blends?
Differentiation in a Competitive Market: With many tea businesses emerging, unique flavors help establish your brand identity.
Tailored to Audience Preferences: Creating signature blends can help you meet specific tastes, such as herbal wellness teas, floral blends, or dessert-inspired teas.
Flexibility with Minimal Investment: You can start small with affordable ingredients, scaling up as you gain traction with customers.
Step-by-Step Guide to Developing Unique Tea Flavors and Blends
1. Understand the Basics of Tea Blending
To create balanced and enjoyable tea blends, it’s essential to understand how different tea types, herbs, and flavor notes interact.
Base Teas: Choose a base for each blend, such as black, green, white, or oolong tea. Each tea type has distinct properties and flavors.
Complementary Ingredients: Add complementary elements, such as herbs (mint, chamomile), spices (ginger, cinnamon), or flowers (rose, lavender) for unique profiles.
Flavor Profiles: Aim for a balance between primary (base tea) and secondary (herbs, spices, fruit) flavors.
2. Define Your Target Audience and Blend Purpose
Consider who your target customers are and what tea experience they’re seeking.
Wellness Enthusiasts: For customers interested in health benefits, create blends with herbs known for relaxation, immunity, or digestion.
Classic Tea Lovers: For traditionalists, blend Indian chai, masala, or floral teas with classic flavors.
Adventurous Tasters: Offer innovative blends like fruity green teas or dessert-inspired flavors like chocolate-mint tea.
3. Source Ingredients Affordably
Staying within a ₹1 lakh budget requires careful selection of quality ingredients at reasonable prices.
Local Markets: Purchase herbs, spices, and dried fruit from local markets or wholesale suppliers. Indian spice markets often offer bulk herbs and spices at affordable rates.
Online Wholesale: Websites like Amazon, Big Basket, and local tea wholesalers can provide affordable tea bases and flavor ingredients.
Tip: Start small, sourcing only a limited amount of ingredients for experimentation before buying in bulk.
4. Experiment with Flavor Combinations
Begin with a few base recipes, and then try various additions to find what works best.
Trial and Tasting: Create small batches to test flavor combinations. Keep a notebook to record quantities and results.
Balancing Flavors: Start with a 3:1 ratio (3 parts tea base, 1 part flavoring ingredient) and adjust based on taste.
Example Blends:
Soothing Lavender Chamomile Green Tea: Green tea, dried lavender, chamomile
Spicy Masala Chai: Black tea, cardamom, ginger, cinnamon, black pepper
Refreshing Citrus Mint: Green tea, dried orange peel, peppermint
5. Embrace Seasonal Blends
Creating seasonal blends can help attract new customers by offering flavors that match seasonal preferences.
Summer Blends: Light and refreshing teas with fruity or floral notes (e.g., hibiscus, lemongrass).
Winter Blends: Warm and comforting teas with spices like cinnamon, ginger, and cloves.
Festival-Themed Blends: Craft blends inspired by Indian festivals, such as saffron-infused tea for Diwali or rose-milk tea for Holi.
6. Test, Refine, and Seek Feedback
Once you’ve developed a few blends, conduct tasting sessions with friends, family, or customers.
Gather Feedback: Encourage honest feedback on flavor, aroma, and presentation.
Adjust Ingredients: Based on feedback, refine each blend to improve balance and appeal.
Host a Tasting Event: If possible, host a small tasting event where attendees can try multiple blends and share their thoughts.
Tips to Stay on Budget While Developing Unique Tea Blends
Start with Affordable Ingredients: Begin with a few high-impact, affordable ingredients. Local herbs, dried fruits, and spices often offer excellent value.
Invest in Small Quantities for Testing: Purchase small quantities for initial experimentation and only buy in bulk once you’ve finalized your recipes.
DIY Packaging: To save costs, use simple, eco-friendly packaging, such as paper pouches or reusable jars, which are budget-friendly and attractive.
Focus on Core Blends: Instead of creating too many blends at once, focus on perfecting a few unique blends that will become your brand’s signature flavors.
Marketing Unique Tea Blends on a Budget
1. Leverage Social Media
Share visually appealing images of your tea blends on Instagram and Facebook. Create posts with vibrant colors and engaging captions that reflect the mood of each blend.
2. Offer Sample Packs
Sell small sample packs of your top blends, which allows customers to try multiple flavors before committing to a larger purchase. This approach builds customer interest and reduces hesitancy.
3. Collaborate with Food and Wellness Bloggers
Send samples to local food or wellness bloggers who can feature your blends. Their audience can help generate word-of-mouth interest and expand your brand’s visibility.
4. Use Customer Reviews and Feedback
Encourage customers to share their reviews on social media. Positive testimonials can boost credibility and attract new customers.
5. Seasonal Promotions
Offer limited-time discounts on seasonal blends or festival-themed packs to encourage customers to try your latest creations.
FAQs
1. How can I ensure my tea blends are unique?
Experiment with combinations of tea bases, herbs, spices, and dried fruits to create original flavors. Keep track of your recipes and tweak them until you find a blend that stands out.
2. Can I start selling my blends online with a limited budget?
Yes! You can begin by selling on social media platforms like Instagram and Facebook, using direct messaging for orders. As you grow, consider listing on marketplaces like Amazon or Flipkart.
3. How do I know if a tea blend will be popular?
Testing with small groups or hosting a tasting event can help gauge interest. Start by selling sample packs to see which blends customers prefer before investing in larger quantities.
4. Do I need a license to sell my own tea blends?
Yes, to sell consumable products, you’ll need an FSSAI license. Check local regulations for compliance.
Conclusion: Start Crafting Unique Tea Blends with Basketleaf
Developing unique tea blends on a budget is a fantastic way to make your brand memorable in a competitive market. By starting small, focusing on high-quality ingredients, and marketing creatively, you can create the best business under ₹1 lakh with a tea blending venture that appeals to a wide range of customers.

Fennel Seeds: A Guide to Their Benefits, Uses, and Nutritional Value
Fennel seeds, small yet mighty, are a powerhouse of flavour and nutrition. These tiny seeds, harvested from the fennel plant, are a common ingredient in many kitchens and a staple in traditional medicine. From their unique taste to their wide range of health benefits, fennel seeds have earned their place in the pantry. At Grape Tree, we provide top-quality fennel seeds, packed and sealed for maximum freshness. Let's explore what makes these seeds so special and how they can enhance your diet and lifestyle.
What Are Fennel Seeds?
Fennel Seeds come from the fennel plant (Foeniculum vulgare), a member of the carrot family. The plant produces small, aromatic seeds that are typically dried and used as a spice or herbal remedy. The seeds have a distinctive sweet, slightly spicy flavour, reminiscent of licorice or anise, making them a popular choice in both cooking and medicinal recipes.
Fennel seeds are widely used in cuisines from around the world, particularly in Indian, Mediterranean, and Middle Eastern dishes. They are also a key ingredient in spice blends like garam masala and curry powder.
Nutritional Value of Fennel Seeds
Fennel seeds are not just about flavour – they are also packed with important nutrients. Here’s a breakdown of what you can get from a small serving of fennel seeds:
Rich in Fibre: Fennel seeds are an excellent source of dietary fibre, which can help regulate digestion and maintain gut health.
Vitamins and Minerals: They are rich in vitamin C, calcium, magnesium, potassium, and manganese – all essential for various bodily functions.
Antioxidants: Fennel seeds are loaded with powerful antioxidants like flavonoids and polyphenols, which help fight off free radicals in the body and reduce oxidative stress.
Low in Calories: Fennel seeds are low in calories, making them an excellent addition to your meals without significantly increasing calorie intake.
Health Benefits of Fennel Seeds
Improves Digestion
One of the most well-known uses of fennel seeds is for digestive health. The seeds have natural antispasmodic and carminative properties, which help relax the muscles in the gastrointestinal tract, reducing bloating, gas, and indigestion. Many people chew fennel seeds after meals to promote digestion and freshen their breath.
Aids Weight Loss
Fennel seeds can help with weight management in a number of ways. First, their high fibre content helps you feel fuller for longer, reducing overall food intake. Additionally, fennel seeds may help boost metabolism, allowing the body to burn calories more efficiently.
Regulates Blood Pressure
Fennel seeds are a good source of potassium, a mineral that plays a key role in controlling blood pressure. Potassium helps balance the effects of sodium in the body and relaxes blood vessels, leading to improved circulation and lower blood pressure.
Promotes Healthy Skin
Thanks to their antioxidant content, fennel seeds can contribute to healthy, glowing skin. Antioxidants help reduce damage caused by free radicals, which can contribute to signs of ageing, such as wrinkles and dark spots. Additionally, the vitamins and minerals in fennel seeds can nourish the skin from within, promoting a clearer complexion.
Supports Hormonal Balance
Fennel seeds contain compounds that mimic the hormone oestrogen. For women, this can help regulate menstrual cycles, reduce symptoms of menopause, and even support breast milk production in breastfeeding mothers. Fennel seeds are often used in traditional remedies to relieve menstrual cramps and hormonal imbalances.
Boosts Immune System
With their high vitamin C content, fennel seeds can help boost your immune system. Vitamin C is a powerful antioxidant that plays a crucial role in strengthening the immune response, protecting against infections, and speeding up the healing process.
Improves Heart Health
The fibre, antioxidants, and minerals found in fennel seeds can all contribute to better heart health. Fibre helps lower cholesterol levels, while antioxidants reduce inflammation that can lead to heart disease. Potassium helps maintain healthy blood pressure, reducing the risk of heart attacks and strokes.
How to Use Fennel Seeds
There are many ways to incorporate fennel seeds into your diet. Here are a few simple ideas:
Chew after meals: Fennel seeds are traditionally chewed after meals to aid digestion and freshen breath. A small teaspoon of seeds can work wonders for your digestive system.
Add to spice blends: Fennel seeds are a key ingredient in many spice blends like garam masala and Italian seasoning. You can grind the seeds and mix them with other spices for a unique flavour boost.
Make fennel tea: To make fennel seed tea, simply crush a teaspoon of fennel seeds and steep them in hot water for 5-10 minutes. This soothing tea can help with digestion, reduce bloating, and promote relaxation.
Use in cooking: Fennel seeds can be added to soups, stews, and sauces for a hint of sweetness and warmth. They pair especially well with meats like pork and chicken.
Bake with them: You can also use fennel seeds in baking – try adding them to bread, biscuits, or cakes for a subtle flavour twist.
Storing Fennel Seeds
To keep fennel seeds fresh and flavourful, store them in an airtight container in a cool, dry place. When stored properly, they can last for several months without losing their aroma or potency. For the best taste and benefits, consider buying fennel seeds in smaller quantities to ensure they remain fresh.
Why Choose Grape Tree Fennel Seeds?
At Grape Tree, we pride ourselves on providing high-quality, natural products, and our fennel seeds are no exception.

7 Healing Spices for a Healthy Winter Season
Winter is when all your allergies might start acting up. It’s essential to stay healthy and also combat the cold this season! You always have over-the-counter medicines to help you fight these, but what we have at home gives an instant remedy!
Here’s what you can do with those ingredients available in the kitchen to boost your immunity! Stay healthy during winter by using these seven spices.
Turmeric
Turmeric reigns supreme in natural medicine, as it’s commonly used in curries and gravies. The compound curcumin found in it is a potent anti-inflammatory that helps ease pain, swelling, and even chronic conditions like arthritis. Turmeric boosts immunity, protects against Alzheimer’s, and has potential anti-cancer properties. It’s also known to promote gut health, as it helps improve from bloating and gas. Apart from curries, you can also use turmeric in these ways.
How to take Turmeric during Winter?
Turmeric Tea:Add a teaspoon of Suhana Turmeric Powder to water and bring it to a boil. Add a tablespoon of honey to it and have it when you feel bloated. You can add crushed black pepper and ginger when you suffer from other digestive issues, cough, and cold.
Turmeric Water: Add turmeric to warm water, which you can have on chilly winter mornings. This will help you with inflammation, and digestive issues this season.
Garam Masala
Garam masala, a warm blend of spices containing pepper, cloves, cinnamon, and cardamom, offers several health benefits. It aids digestion, promotes heart health by lowering cholesterol, and fights off infections with its antibacterial properties.
Uses of Garam Masala
You can add garam masala to naan, soups, curries, and snacks like samosa. If you like dosa, add a dash of garam masala while making hot dosas. Pair it with ghee, and it tastes out of the world!
Ginger
With its fiery taste, ginger warms your palate and your body. Ginger is a natural nausea fighter, easing motion sickness and morning sickness. Its expectorant properties clear congestion and soothe coughs, while its anti-inflammatory properties combat headaches and muscle aches. Ginger also reduces inflammation, colds, and coughs, naturally helping the stomach and digestive parts.
How to Consume Ginger in Winter Season?
If you are on a weight loss journey, you can have ginger tea with lemon in the morning.
Ginger Tea: Grate a little ginger and add it to boiling water. Take it from the stove and remove the tiny ginger bits, as you need only the essence and add a tablespoon of tea powder. You can have it as such or add a little honey. If you like lemon, you can add lemon juice, but remember to have lemon ginger tea in lukewarm water.
Ginger Water: Grate the ginger in boiling water and simmer it for two minutes. Remove from heat and have the extract either directly or with some honey.
Ginger Milk:You can also add ginger to milk and have it before bedtime.
Black Pepper
Black pepper, the king of spices, isn’t just a taste enhancer; it’s a potent anti-inflammatory agent. It aids nutrient absorption, boosts digestion, and fights respiratory issues like bronchitis. It can even relieve muscle aches and pains. It also helps you lose weight, detoxifies your body, cleanses your stomach and prevents constipation.
How to use Black Pepper in Cooking?
You can add corn, tomato, or spinach to any soup you make.
You can make ghee pepper roast with mushrooms, chicken, and mutton. Vegan dishes taste amazing with extra pepper, and you can try making roasted sweet potato with pepper, spicy black bean burgers, and more.
You can also add it to your omelette and a variety of egg dishes to maintain the spice levels and a healthy body!
