Transcription of the video

Since 2000 BCE people have been using pepper for both culinary and spiritual purposes. Native to South Asia and Southeast Asia, pepper is now the most common spice in the world. Most people don’t realize that the peppercorn is actually the fruit of the plant. Depending upon when it is harvested, processed, and dried, the fruit can produce black, green, or white peppercorns. 

The ancient Greeks predominantly used pepper in combination with other spices in their wine and rarely, if ever used it on food. It was generally only put on food if it was deemed medically necessary. Despite their limited use, pepper is the one spice that has had the most impact on shaping our world.

During the Middle Ages and into the Renaissance, pepper was so highly valued by Europeans that it was used as a currency. It was given as gifts, used to pay rent, offered as a dowry or bribe, and even used to pay outstanding taxes! When Columbus set off on his expedition, he was actually looking for pepper plants as well as a quick route to get pepper back to Europe. While pepper isn’t as coveted today as it has been in the past, it does have a permanent place on almost every table in the world!
