Black pepper is the dried unripe fruit of Piper nigrum, L. (Piperaceae). It is also called the “King of Spices”, because no other spice is better known or more widely used. The plant is a climbing perennial shrub, which is a native of the Western Ghats in India. In India, it is cultivated in Karnataka, Assam, West Bengal, Tamilnadu, Kerala and Maharashtra. In the Nilgiris, Black pepper is chiefly grown in Gudalur.

The aromatic odour of Nilgiris Black pepper is due to the oil, while the pungent taste is due to the main alkaloid, piperine. It stimulates the flow of saliva ad the gastric juices and has a cooling effect.

It is used in medicine for fever, sore throat, piles, etc
