Yes! Black pepper is naturally spicy as it gets its spicy heat from piperine derived from both the outer fruit and the seed. We use black pepper almost everyday in our meals, but this humble spice has way more benefits than you ever imagined. If I am feeling a little under the weather with chest congestion, I grind peppercorns, mix it with honey, warm it up and have it thrice a day. Trust me, it does wonders. Apart from this, black pepper aids in digestion, weight loss, and more. We ensure we add a little pepper in all our meals, it adds a distinct flavour and is extremely beneficial too. I use Organic Tattva’s Black Pepper as the flavours are fresher and spicier.

Pepper does not melt ice. Pepper is regarded as hot due to its spicy sensation in your mouth when consumed, but it does not have any real heat to it.
