Health Benefits of Black Pepper

Black Pepper Nutrition

Black pepper is rich in nutrients and an excellent source of minerals such as calcium, copper, iron, manganese, magnesium, phosphorous, potassium, as well as vitamins B6, C, K and Riboflavin. It is also high in fiber with limited amounts of carbohydrates and protein.

 Health Benefits

Black pepper aids in weight loss and can be used to treat issues with sinus, nasal congestion and asthma. It also helps to reduce the risk of heart and liver ailments as well as cancer.

Improves Digestion: Consuming pepper aids in the secretion of hydrochloric acid in the stomach which facilitates food digestion.

Weight Loss: The outer layer of the peppercorn (pericarp) helps to break down fat cells, making pepper consumption a great aid to weight loss.

Skin Care: Pepper has been used as a cure to vitiligo, a skin condition that results in the loss of pigmentation.

Respiration: In Ayurvedic practices (one of the oldest known medical systems), pepper is added to tonics to treat colds and coughs. The expectorant property of pepper helps in the break up of mucus and phlegm thereby providing relief for nasal congestion and other respiratory challenges.

Antibacterial: Black pepper contains an antibacterial element that is useful in fighting against infections. It also has a fibrous quality that helps to keep arteries clean by removing excess cholesterol from the body.

Antioxidant: Pepper has antioxidants that can help to prevent, and repair damage caused by free radicals thereby helping to prevent heart disease, cancer and liver issues.

Cognitive Function: Numerous studies have shown that piperine - a key component in black pepper, aids in the reduction of memory loss and other cognitive issues.

 Selecting and Storing Peppercorns

Black pepper is available year-round in stores and can be purchased as whole peppercorns or in a pre-ground, powdered form. Purchasing whole peppercorns is best allowing you to grind these fresh with each use. Look for peppercorns that are compact round and heavy. Peppercorns should be stored in a dark, dry place while ground pepper should be stored in the refrigerator to extend shelf life.

Ground pepper can be added to almost any meal – fish, meats, salads, eggs, soups, pastas and even some drinks. Add a little pepper to sauces or use to coat fish, meats and vegetables before cooking. Some experts recommend that pepper be cooked as minimally as possible to reap the most of its benefits and flavor when freshly ground. Invest in a peppermill and keep it on your table or counter for regular use.
