The term Piper Nigrum is Latin for black pepper. The name Piper nigrum was given to this plant by the Swedish botanist Carolus Linnaeus. The plant is also known as Long pepper, Black pepper and Indian long pepper.

This spice has been used to flavor foods since 1000 B.C. It was also used in wine and beer making, as an embalming agent, as a preservative, and in decorative arts and perfumes. Piper nigrum has also been used in traditional medicine as a carminative (expels gas from the stomach or intestines), stimulant, sudorific (induces perspiration), diuretic, emmenagogue (stimulates menstrual flow) and an aphrodisiac. In addition, it has been used to treat flatulence, colic, cholera, jaundice and hysteria.

Piper Nigrum is grown in India under rain-fed conditions on small holdings of around 1 acre with limited resources. These growers use low cost labor and management practices with no fertilizer applications or irrigation water management systems. They grow the crop between October and December at altitudes between 500-900 m above sea level with an average rainfall of 835 mm per year.

Piper nigrum, or black pepper, has been around for thousands of years. It is one of the most important spices in the world. The name black pepper originates from its color and it can be found in most kitchens today. Piper Nigrum is the dried fruit of a vine belonging to the pepper family (Piperaceae) which is an evergreen climbing plant. The fruits are gathered just after they ripen when they turn from green to yellow to red. They are then dried in the sun and turned into peppercorns.

The Piper Nigrum plant is native to India, but now grows all over Southeast Asia and other tropical regions like Sumatra and Brazil. Because it takes almost a full year for Piper Nigrum to grow, it was very valuable and only the rich could afford it. It was also used as a medicine at one time; even now, many people believe that if you drink pepper tea before going to bed, you will have more energy during the day. In fact, black pepper is believed to have medicinal properties similar to those of white pepper because they both come from the same source: Piper Nigrum seeds.*

Piper Nigrum were used by many ancient civilizations including the Egyptians, Greeks and Romans.

Piper nigrum is the species of pepper from which black pepper is harvested. Piper nigrum is also the name for a closely related plant, known as Long Pepper. This plant consists of several different varieties, all of them belonging to the Piperaceae family and the Piper Nigrum species.

Early on, Piper nigrum was used for a variety of purposes by people around the world. The ancient Greeks and Romans used it as a perfume, and it has been used in traditional medicine from Asia to Europe for thousands of years. In fact, its medicinal properties have been mentioned in texts dating back to Babylonian times.

In modern times, pepper has broadened greatly in popularity as well as use. It can be found in everything from Thai food to gumbo to margaritas to spaghetti sauce. Its popularity is also due in part because it is so easily added to dishes; it does not need to be soaked or prepared before being added.

Piper nigrum is the Latin name for the plant known commonly as black pepper. Piper nigrum is a climbing vine native to India, and has been used as a spice and medicine since ancient times. It is believed to have first been cultivated in Java and Sumatra, where it still grows wild today.

The earliest written reference to pepper appears in a Sumerian recipe dating back to 2000 B.C. The ancient Chinese were also familiar with pepper by this time, and were using it regularly. By 600 A.D., the Arabs had spread knowledge of pepper throughout Europe, Asia, and Africa. By 800 A.D., the people of India were cultivating pepper on a commercial scale. Today, Indonesia exports more black pepper than any other country.

The pungent taste of black pepper comes from its active compound piperine, which is responsible for its stimulating effect on the body’s metabolism and digestion. Piperine stimulates thermogenesis in the digestive tract; this aids in the conversion of carbohydrates into energy while inhibiting their absorption into fat tissue. Piperine has also been shown to increase the absorption of calcium and magnesium into bones by increasing the activity of these minerals’ transporters in cell membranes.

Piper nigrum, commonly known as black pepper is the fruit of a flowering vine in the family Piperaceae, cultivated for its fruit, which is usually dried and used as a spice and seasoning.

The pepper vine first grows as an under-story shrub on the forest floor. When it reaches approximately one meter in height or the canopy above it closes, it climbs onto nearby trees and uses them as supports. The flowers are white, with a five-lobed corolla and yellow stamens. The fruits are berries, roughly egg-shaped, 4–5 mm in diameter, dark red when ripe. Peppercorns—which are actually dried berries—are harvested just before full maturation.

Black pepper is native to India and is extensively cultivated there and elsewhere in tropical regions around the world. The spiciness of black pepper is due to the chemical piperine.

Black pepper is one of the most common spices in European cuisine and its descendants, having been known and prized since antiquity for both its flavor and its use as a medicine. The spiciness of black pepper is due to the chemical piperine (also found in Piper nigrum Linn.), a substance that stimulates the taste buds.*

Piper nigrum is a plant whose fruits are dried and used for the flavoring of food and beverages. These fruits, which are called “pip” and are also known as black pepper, are one of the most widely used spices in Western cuisine.

The pungency of pepper is due to the chemical piperine, which constitutes approximately 0.6–4.0% of the fruit’s mass.

Pepper is often added to dishes near the end of cooking, so that it will be heated and thus more able to release its flavor. Longer cooking causes peppers’ flesh to turn soft; their color can range from green to yellow, red and purple to black. The seeds and interior ribs (the white inner portion) must be removed before consumption because they contain considerable quantities of a chemical that irritates the digestive tract—it is used as an emetic in case of poisoning—and produces a sensation of burning pain if introduced into the eyes.

The fleshy part has a mild flavor, not pungent or aromatic, but fragrant and slightly fruity; it is pale yellow when fresh (or green for white varieties), darkening on exposure to light. The odor of the crushed seeds is strong but not distinctive; it has
