About Pimienta negra

Pimienta Negra, or black pepper, is a widely-used spice derived from dried peppercorns of the Piper nigrum plant, native to South Asia. Known as the "king of spices," it adds a bold, pungent flavor to dishes across various cuisines, including Indian, Mediterranean, and Latin American. Rich in minerals like potassium, magnesium, and iron, black pepper also contains antioxidants, primarily piperine, which supports digestion and nutrient absorption. Piperine has been studied for its anti-inflammatory and immune-boosting properties, making black pepper a beneficial addition to a balanced diet. While low in calories, excessive use may cause irritation in sensitive individuals. Often paired with turmeric, it enhances curcumin's bioavailability, amplifying health benefits. Versatile and aromatic, Pimienta Negra elevates both everyday meals and gourmet creations while offering subtle health advantages when consumed in moderation.
