What do spices give us?
Spices, like everything else, are made
of chemicals. Spices give us health, colour and fragrance and most of all they keep
life from getting monotonous. Spices hide in them our traditions and culture.
let’s study about some spices which we
uses in our daily kitchen.
Small and round like a pearl,
I am black when I am whole.
I can be powdered coarse or fine
A sharp and spicy taste is mine,
Whether it is salty or sweet
I am added as a special treat,
Think and tell me who am I?
Tell me quickly, who am I?- pepper-kalimirchi
Black pepper comes from the pepper
plant, a smooth woody vine that can grow up to 33 feet in hot and humid
tropical climates. They begin to bear small white clustered flowers after 3 to
4 years and develop into berries known as peppercorns. Ground peppercorns
produce the spice we call pepper.
Uses:
Black pepper stimulates the taste buds
in such a way that an alert is sent to the stomach to increase hydrochloric
acid secretion, thereby improving digestion. Hence, adding a sprinkling of
freshly ground pepper to your foods not only adds to the flavour but improves
digestion as well.
It is also an excellent source of
manganese, a very good source of iron and vitamin K, and a good source of
dietary fibre.
