BLACK PEPPER: Black pepper (Piper nigrum) is a flowering vine in the family Piperaceae, cultivated for its fruit, known as a peppercorn, which is usually dried and used as a spice and seasoning. Black pepper is native to present-day Kerala in South western India, and is extensively cultivated there and elsewhere in tropical regions. Often called the king of spices, black pepper is known to offer a number of health benefits while providing an excellent depth of flavour to any dish. The use of black pepper in the diet helps promote weight loss, improve digestion, relieve cold and cough, boost metabolism, and treat skin problems. CLOVE WHOLE: Cloves are the rich, brown, dried, unopened flower buds of Syzygium aromaticum, an evergreen tree in the myrtle family. The name comes from the French "clou" meaning nail. Cloves are native to the Molucca Islands, now a part of Indonesia and also from Madagascar and Sri Lanka. In addition to their sweet, aromatic flavour, cloves are known for their potent medicinal properties, some of which include aiding in digestion, boosting the immune system, controlling diabetes, and preserving bone quality. They also contain anti-mutagenic and anti-microbial properties, along with fighting against oral diseases and headaches.
