The World's Healthiest Foods: Black Pepper
Today's web page, from the not-for-profit George Mateljan Foundation for
The World's Healthiest Foods, presents an upbeat feature on the virtues of
the black peppercorn. Gentle Subscribers who may have been unaware that
black pepper falls into the "world's healthiest foods" category, may be
pleasantly surprised that doing something they've always done -- shaking a
bit of pepper on their food -- is beneficial.
"A pinch of black pepper is added to almost every type of recipe
imaginable. Once used as currency and presented to the gods as a sacred
offering, it is fortunate that this most popular of spices is available
throughout the year." - from the website
The web page discusses the health benefits of black pepper, offers a
description and a brief but interesting history. Advice is given for
selection and storage, along with a diagram displaying the peppercorn's
nutritional profile. There are tips on how to use pepper to maintain its
robust flavor, along with a link to the site's interesting and browsable
recipe database.
