Friends, I am pepper. Can I invite you tothe Europe a few centuries ago?The rural folks in Europe would killsome of their cattle for meat andpreserve it for the prolonged winterseason.The heavy snow fall in the winter wasnot favourable for the grass to grow in the cattle fields. Both the people and cattle facedshortage of food during the season. The solution for this was to preserve the cattle meat asfood for winter.Remember that there was neither electricity nor refrigerator of any kind during that time.So they found me effective in preserving the meat and making it tastier. In short, I wasinevitable for them.My friends cardamom, cinnamon and ginger, all spices like I am, were also loved by them.The traders came in search of us from the time immemorial.Did you read the story of pepper? What did you understand from the story?_______________________________________________________________
