  • Pepper is obtained from the Piper nigrum vine, an
    East Indian plant that produces a bright red berry
    that turns black after it's harvested and dried.
  • Pepper is the most widely traded spice in the
    world, and has been so for more than 3,000 years.
    It was used as an exchange medium like money
    and, at times, has been valued so highly that a
    single peppercorn dropped on the floor would be
    hunted like a lost pearl.
  • The expression that someone is "worth his salt"
    dates from Roman times when salt had such a high
    value it was traded for other goods.
