Organic Black Pepper (Kali Mirch) Piperine-Rich, Chemical-Free

Black pepper is so ubiquitous in Indian cooking that most people never think about quality differences between one type and another. Here’s a reason to start: piperine the primary active compound in black pepper is what gives it both its heat and its extraordinary bioavailability enhancement properties. Organically grown, freshly processed black pepper has measurably higher piperine content than old stock that has been stored in conditions that degrade volatile compounds.

The piperine-curcumin connection has become increasingly well-known: piperine can increase the bioavailability of curcumin (the active compound in turmeric) by up to 2,000% according to some research. This means black pepper isn’t just a spice when used alongside turmeric (or saffron, or other curcuminoid-containing spices), it’s a nutritional amplifier.

For absorption of other supplements

If you take any curcumin supplement, vitamin supplement, or herbal preparation, consuming a small amount of black pepper with it may increase absorption. This is the clinical basis behind many supplement manufacturers adding “bioperine” (a patented piperine extract) to their formulas.
