What gives black pepper its heat? How did this jungle vine become a part of the human diet? I explore the history and chemistry of the peppercorn and how it interacts with pain receptors.
Thanks for the pepper lesson – I had no idea that black and white pepper came from the same plant!
Thanks! It's so cool to see how plant materials can be transformed into such a variety of flavors :)
Thanks, Cassie. Very nice account! Dan
Aha! The details of pepper:)
