Black Pepper: Historically Golden

Once upon a time, in its long and storied history, Black Pepper was the condiment of kings.

Black Pepper in history

When the world was further apart and reaching from the east to the west involved considerable travel and expense, Black Pepper, the king of spices, commanded its weight in gold. Unparalleled as a spice, its usefulness in rich kitchens was varied and limitless.

Now, on the other hand, black pepper is just so common its prices are dirt cheap. With production and consumption in millions of tons a year annually, the global nature of the market has made it a common sight on the dining table.

Cancer fighter

By and large, scientists agree that this is a good thing. Because black pepper, beyond just tasting delicious, also contains within it compounds that help inhibit the growth of cancer cells, according to recent research. The exact extent of the effect still remains to be studied, but there is a strong correlation. Piperine, a compound in black pepper is supposed to affect the self-renewable process of cancer cells, relieving the stress on the body, depriving the cancer calls.  

So, not only does it taste great, it staves off cancer too. There aren’t many foods that could claim such a distinction!

Our Black Pepper meets black pepper

Modelled in certain ways upon this exemplar spice, our restaurant, Black Pepper, is similarly regarded as the best restaurant inDehradun. Just as the Black Pepper was once highly coveted, so in our Black Pepper. And most importantly, we’ve kept black pepper an integral part of the diet still: not only do our chefs use it liberally, but we have specials that revolve entirely around the idea of dishes with high concentrations of black pepper.

In many ways thus, we go after our namesake. And unlike most of the restaurants around, not only is our food exemplary, but it just might keep cancer away!
