The Health Benefits of The King of Spices!
Black Pepper, also referred to as the King of Spice for its longtime popularity, is used in both its fine powder form and its dried berry form known as Peppercorn. The grinding of the Peppercorn brings about the fine spice of Black Pepper.

Rich with Manganese, Iron, Potassium, Vitamin-C, Vitamin K, and Dietary Fiber, Black Pepper constitutes an excellent source of health benefits.
It is a main component of the widely known Lebanese 7-Spice, which we use in many of our dishes. Black Pepper also constitutes a natural food preservative because of its antibacterial properties.
