Trace the history of pepper, and explore how this seasoning shaped empires to become one of the world's most popular spices.
--
Thousands of years ago, people on the Malabar Coast began growing Piper nigrum, the black pepper plant. Early migrants and traders helped move pepper from India to Indonesia and beyond, with Egypt, China, and Rome being some of the earliest adopters. And today, black pepper makes up 20% of the global spice trade. So, what makes the spice so popular? Carolyn Beans traces the seasoning's history.
