Black Pepper

Black pepper is ground from peppercorns that are produced by the pepper plant in tropical climates. Black Pepper helps promote digestion by increasing hydrochloric acid secretion to help prevent food from sitting in the bowels for extended periods. It also helps prevent intestinal gas, promotes urination and has demonstrated antioxidant and antibacterial properties. Black pepper contains piperine, a chemical that helps increase the bioavailability of phytochemicals in other spices.
