Pepper was so highly valued, (and expensive) in ancient history that it became, a form of money. It has been used to pay taxes, rent, fines, and even ransoms. Pepper, like most spices at one time or another was also used as a medicine and prescribed for a host of ailments. However, the only thing it cures is bland food.
Until the early Middle Ages pepper, because of its cost, was a spice for the rich. In recent times, since the price has dropped considerably, people have experimented with pepper adding it to various fruits and vegetables for some tasteful combinations. The folks at Busha Browne have gone that extra step and have mixed it with sherry and have developed a unique product that can be used on almost anything and everything from salads to deserts. Don’t be timid go ahead and splash it!
