Book a Farm Tour

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.

  • Rich source of antioxidants that combat free radicals and oxidative stress
  • Contains piperine, which enhances nutrient absorption (bioavailability)
  • Anti-inflammatory properties helpful in managing arthritis and joint pain
  • Improves blood sugar control and insulin sensitivity
  • Helps lower cholesterol levels and supports cardiovascular health
  • Natural pain relief through its analgesic properties

Known as 'Black Gold,' this vine loves the warm and humid climate of Dahanu. Watch for our climbing pepper vines during the farm tour.
