Black Pepper when dried, this plant-derived spice is referred to as a peppercorn, and is then ground into a powder to be put on food to add flavor and spice. Because of its antibacterial properties, pepper is also used to preserve food. It is a rich source of manganese, iron, potassium, vitamin-C, vitamin K, and dietary fiber.

Some of the other health benefits of black pepper are: It Increases Nutrient Absorption, Improves Digestion, Stimulates Appetite, Facilitates Weight Loss, Relieves Gas and Helps Clear Congestion.
