An excellent way to add flavor to your dishes protecting your heart! Black pepper is the world's most traded spice and it has been used since antiquity for both its flavor and its antibacterial properties. The distinctive pungency of black pepper is due to the chemical piperine which has analgesic properties. Moreover, one tablespoon of ground black pepper contains moderate amounts of vitamin K (13% of the daily value or DV), iron (10% DV) and manganese (18% DV), with trace amounts of other essential nutrients, and dietary fiber.

Everybody loves a good burger. Big, juicy patties stacked with toppings; greasy little sliders with diced onions; even firm, earthy veggie burgers with avocado—they all sate the craving in one way or another. Its universal appeal—Americans alone eat about 50 billion burgers each year—makes this one big-business sandwich, and astronomical sums have been spent trying to perfect its various components, including, of course, the all-important bun. Golden-brown brioche has emerged as the hamburger roll of choice at restaurants where words like “artisanal” and “organic” are tossed around like so many housemade pickle slices. Large-scale commercial enterprises, meanwhile, have settled on buns that are flat on top with a soft, squishy texture to match the patty inside.
