HISTORY OF PEPPERENCAP

The world's most commonly used spice, PIPER NIGRUM, starts life as berries in a clump on a flowering vine (like grapes). Native to Southern India, today Black pepper is grown throughout the tropics.

Archaeological evidence of people using pepper goes back to at least 2000 BC in India. It is known that pepper was exported, but to what extent remains a mystery. Nonetheless, signs of an ancient pepper trade from India to Egypt have been found, including the peppercorns that had been stuffed into the nostrils of Ramses the Great (1303-1213 BC) when he was mummified. Certainly, by 40 AD, the Romans had a thriving trade in spices, including pepper. Leaving the southwestern coast of India in July with the monsoon winds, Roman sea traders brought cinnamon, incense oils, and pepper to their great commercial hub in Alexandria. When the strong monsoon winds switched in the fall, the traders rode them back.

Before the 16th century, pepper was being grown in Java, Sunda, Sumatra, Madagascar, Malaysia, and everywhere in Southeast Asia. These areas traded mainly with China or used the pepper locally. Ports in the Malabar area also served as a stop-off point for much of the trade-in other spices from farther east in the Indian Ocean.
