Dietitian's Tips for Consuming Black Pepper

Metabolic Effect: Black pepper speeds up the metabolism and helps digestion thanks to the piperine it contains. Its antioxidant properties protect the body against free radicals.
Consumption Recommendation: You can use it to add flavor to your meals and salads. However, excessive consumption can cause stomach discomfort.
Things to Consider: Consuming a few grams of black pepper a day is generally safe. People with high blood pressure should consult their doctor before consuming it.
Exercise Equivalent: It is almost impossible to burn the calories in 1 teaspoon of black pepper, but its metabolism-boosting effect can help with weight control in the long run.
