If you take supplements, black pepper (piperine) is likely found in your bottle to increase absorption. Adding black pepper to your food is important for the same reason (to increase the absorption of the mineral and vitamin content from your food). How to Grow Piper nigrum Black Pepper Peppercorn seeds:Piper nigrum thrives in slightly acidic to neutral soil types and grows best in a humid or moist environment. If you're growing them indoors, consider planting them in a hanging pot in a partially shaded area of your sunroom or in a pot near a window. If grown outdoors, prop the leaves up by allowing them to either grow up a tree, grow them up a winding coil, a fence or a structure of some sort in order to enjoy a larger peppercorn harvest and provide some form of air flow for the leaves. Germination Procedure: Soak seeds in cup of water for 24 hrs before planting. Sow seeds 1/2 inch deep into moist, warm soil. Plant seeds an inch apart. Water often. Seeds are hard to sprout without the softening effect of the water and consistently warm soil. Germination time is 45 days for most of the seeds. Even still, some won't sprout at this time. Continue the same treatment until enough seeds have germinated to your liking. Some simply remain dormant longer. ***Priority mail and tracking option: To upgrade your order to Priority mail, simply add your item(s) to the cart and find the item I have available for a Priority Mail Upgrade...add it to your cart along with your item(s) by selecting to Buy It Now and pay for it and your other items in 1 cart transaction.
