Centuries of Chile Culture
Alexander the Great is believed to have brought dried
black peppercorns back from India. His travels brought
back also its Sanskrit name, pippali, from which, via
Greek and Latin, we derive both our word for the spice
and the plant’s scientific name, Piper nigrum.
Pepper was once a gift fit for kings; to the right, a French
manuscript illustration from the early 15th century shows
both harvesting and royal presentation.
