Health Benefits:
- Pepper has vitamin C, vitamin A, flavonoids, carotenoids, and other antioxidants that help remove harmful free radicals and protect the body from cancers and diseases.
- The piperine in black pepper eases digestion and stimulates the stomach, which then secretes more hydrochloric acid that helps to digest proteins in food. So a bit of pepper in food will help you to digest it faster.
- Black pepper is antibacterial and therefore helps to cure cough and cold. A teaspoon of honey with freshly crushed pepper does the trick.
- It also helps to alleviate chest congestion, often caused due to pollution, flu, or a viral infection.
