About Spices, pepper, black
Black pepper is the world's most traded spice for good reason. Piperine, the alkaloid responsible for its sharp bite, also enhances the absorption of other nutrients - most famously curcumin in turmeric. The ground form is high in fiber by weight and shows a moderate carbohydrate profile, though no one eats it by the spoonful. Freshly cracking whole peppercorns just before use makes a real difference; pre-ground pepper loses its top notes within weeks. It belongs in nearly every savory context.
