Pimienta, commonly known as black pepper, is a versatile spice derived from dried and ground peppercorns of the Piper nigrum plant. Originating from South India, it’s a staple in global cuisines, adding warmth and depth to dishes with its pungent, slightly spicy flavor. Rich in antioxidants and the compound piperine, pimienta is known for its anti-inflammatory properties and ability to enhance nutrient absorption. It contains small amounts of vitamins like K and minerals such as manganese. Black pepper may support digestion and promote gut health by stimulating enzyme activity. While it’s a healthy addition in moderation, excessive consumption can cause irritation to the digestive tract or interact with certain medications. Whether used whole, powdered, or as a seasoning blend, pimienta is a flavorful way to complement meals while offering notable health benefits.
