Black pepper, often called the 'king of spices,' is one of the most widely used spices globally. Native to Kerala, India, it has been a valuable trade commodity for centuries. The sharp, pungent flavor comes from piperine, its primary active compound.
Known as 'Black Gold,' this vine loves the warm and humid climate of Dahanu. Watch for our climbing pepper vines during the farm tour.
