Black Pepper, also known as Kali Mirch, is one of the most widely used spices in the world and a cornerstone of Ayurvedic healing. At Farm Ayurveda, our Black Pepper is sun-dried and naturally cultivated, offering unmatched aroma, sharpness, and purity. These whole peppercorns are handpicked to ensure maximum potency and flavor in every grain.
This spice does more than enhance taste—it’s also a powerful medicinal herb. Rich in antioxidants and essential oils, Black Pepper boosts digestion, metabolism, and nutrient absorption. It's commonly used in Ayurvedic remedies for respiratory, digestive, and circulatory health. Our premium quality ensures it retains its warmth, pungency, and therapeutic strength.
Black Pepper has a rich and ancient legacy. Often referred to as the “King of Spices,” it was once so valuable that it was used as currency and traded across the Roman and Arab empires. In Ayurveda, it is a key component of Trikatu—a trio of herbs that stimulates digestive fire (Agni) and detoxifies the body. India, particularly Kerala, has been a center for Black Pepper cultivation and global export for centuries.
