Although it is true that black pepper can make certain dishes taste a lot of better, it does not have a whole lot of nutritional value, including vitamin C. There is absolutely none of this vitamin in black pepper, though it does have certain antibacterial and anti-carcinogenic properties which may be able to prevent certain types of cancer.

You will find that black pepper is perhaps one of the world’s most versatile and commonly used spices, great to put on just about anything, including fish and poultry as well as eggs. Eating too much pepper on a regular basis though can cause problems with kidney stones, though there are many other contributing factors to this problem.
