Pipers, the Pepper Plants
Piper nigrum (Black Pepper), the one that is used more frequently than salt or sugar!
by Alex Butova, the Witch of Herbs and Cats
...Who doesn't know Black Pepper? Every household has a pepper shaker,
even if they are not fans of spicy food. But do you know where black pepper
comes from? Certainly, from a plant. But not from the same plant that gives us
Chili pepper! You will be surprised to know that Black pepper along with its
other spicy relatives, belong to the same family as a Peperomia houseplant!
In the 16th century, people began using name pepper to also mean the unrelated
New World Chili pepper (genus Capsicum of family Solanaceae). Piper's
spiciness is due to the chemical compound piperine, which is a different kind of
spicy from the capsaicin characteristic of Chili peppers...
Today we will tell you more about the most interesting and useful species -
Piper nigrum (Black Pepper), Piper betle (Betel Leaf), Piper sarmentosum (Lalot), and Piper auritum (false Kava-Kava, or Root Beer Plant).
