History & Folklore
Black pepper, nicknamed as ‘black gold’ and the ‘king of spices’, is
the most important and widely consumed spice in the world. Pepper has
grown in India for thousands of years and was first introduced to the
West after the global conquests of Alexander the Great (4th century BC).
Pepper was so precious in ancient times that it was used as money to
pay taxes, tributes, dowries, and rent. It was weighed like gold and
used as a common medium of exchange. In AD 410, when Rome was captured,
3,000 pounds of pepper were demanded as ransom.
