Peppercorns, Black, whole

Black peppercorns are the unripe berries of *Piper nigrum*, prized for their sharp, complex heat and aromatic depth. Rich in piperine, they enhance digestion, reduce inflammation, and improve nutrient absorption—particularly beneficial when paired with turmeric. Grind fresh for maximum flavor and potency in culinary and wellness applications. **Warnings:** Avoid excessive consumption if pregnant, nursing, or taking blood thinners. May cause irritation in sensitive individuals. Consult a healthcare provider before use as a therapeutic supplement.
