Black Peppercorn
(Latin Name: Piper nigrum)
8oz bag
Brief History & Origin
Black Peppercorn, known as the "King of Spices," has traveled through time as both currency and cure. Native to the Malabar Coast of India, peppercorns were once so precious they sparked trade routes, wars, and legends. 
In ancient Ayurvedic medicine, pepper was called Maricha, a name also given to the Sun, symbolizing its fiery energy and life-giving force. It was used not only to flavor food but to awaken digestion, sharpen the senses, and protect the body from invaders—seen and unseen.
