○ Latin names: Curcuma longa / Piper nigrum ○ Dosage: 300 mg per capsule Turmeric is a perennial herb that belongs to the Zingiberaceae family. It is native to South Asia and is widely cultivated in tropical and subtropical regions around the world, including India, China, Indonesia and the Caribbean. It grows from fleshy rhizomes, which are harvested after 7 to 10 months of cultivation. The rhizomes are then dried and ground into a bright yellow powder, which is widely used as a spice in cooking. Black pepper is a very common spice in cuisines around the world. It is obtained from the dried berries of the black pepper tree, a climbing plant that grows in tropical regions of the world, especially in India, Sri Lanka, Indonesia and Brazil. Black pepper is the most commonly used spice in the world, and its strong, pungent taste can enhance the taste of many dishes. Black pepper berries are harvested while still green, then dried in the sun until they turn black and wrinkled. During the drying process, the pepper berries undergo fermentation which gives them their characteristic flavor. ֍ In the Middle Ages, pepper was a highly prized spice and considered a luxury product. Europeans were ready to pay exorbitant prices for pepper, which was imported from Asia. This has led to fascinating stories, like that of the Venetian traveler and explorer Marco Polo, who described the spice route through Asia and helped open trade routes for pepper and other spices.
