Peppercorn was found more than 4,000 years ago.

Pepper is known as the King of Spices and still accounts for one-fourth of the world's spice trade. Tunisians lead in
Pepper consumption with half a pound per person per year, whereas Americans consume about one-quarter pound per year.
Peppercorn is also used for medicinal purposes as a digestive stimulant and expectorant. Its hot and pungent flavor causes the membranes inside the nose and throat to produce a lubricating secretion, helpful to those with respiratory ailments.
