I am from Kerala. It's amazing how thousands of years ago the Arabia flourished with help of Kerala and its spices and today Kerala benefits heavily from the job opportunities in those Arabian countries.

[@mishabm316]

And not just Arabia, but half of Europe as well

[@navalfa7291]

Now you can find those Authentic spices that men went to war in Eastern Chicken Masala.

Just eating a dish that I added pepper to and just kept thinking about how it made the dish so much better and now I'm here. Great video.

i felt richer by adding more pepper, the food i ate became more expensive

A small correction Dutch rule in India came to an end not because of British , it was the the king Marthanda Varma of Kerala ( Travancore kingdom) defeated Dutch rule in the war of Colechal , And it was the only kingdom in whole Asia who defeated the Dutch army.

[@HistoricalEats]

Thank you for the correction!

I went down this rabbithole because I recently discovered what white pepper was. I was making egg drop soup for the first time and it called for white pepper in the recipe. Then I went to the store, and saw that you get a quarter of the amount of white pepper for double the price in comparison to black. Then I found out how white pepper differs from black, it's literally just the process in how it's made, it still comes from the same plant. All the media coverage I found on how to make white pepper was in vietnam though which is interesting. And now I'm here. So yeah.

[@LatitudeSky]

It truly is a wonderful thing to visit any grocery store and have endless affordable spices to choose from. Even dollar stores have a large selection and other stores still have a large selection of dollar spices. And they're good. Maybe not exquisite and fancy but good. And very affordable. What fortunate people we are to have such things so easily available. There really is no reason to ever eat bland food.

Pepper. I'm talking about Europe centuries ago. Before the onset of the winter, which lasted for months, local farmers would slaughter some of their cattle and keep them as meat. Grasses did not sprout in the pastures due to winter snowfall. This led to a shortage of feed. Humans also suffered from food shortages. The solution was to kill the cattle and keep them as meat. Remember the days when there was no electricity or cold war like today. They used me to preserve and taste the meat for a long time. In short, I was an essential element to them. I'm not alone. They also loved our native cardamom, cinnamon sticks and ginger. From time immemorial traders have been wondering what pepper is

[@jibinplathottam]

Nowadays the farmers are not getting enough price for the pepper. The labour cost is more than the pepper cost. So most of the farmers are not harvesting properly.

Almost the entire world gained benifed from the spices and the technology of producing crystal sugar from India. The spices which were once way too costly than diamonds and gold, the spices which was wrathful of buying an entie country, India the country which evolved from one of the greatest civilization(Indus valley civilization) which everyone was amazed of once. And here I'm from Kerala(India) giving multiple attempts for IELTS and trying to move to a country which is not blind in religion, which gives individual freedom, value for life and give better opportunity. Such a long way from there till here.

[@stephenmoerlein8470]

The sequence is historically inaccurate. The Portuguese discovered the route around Africa before Columbus sailed west, and the Dutch did not establish an independent spice industry until they stole navigational secrets from the Portuguese (they were the distribution agents for Portuguese spices to northern Europe).

This is wrong.. pink Pepper or red Pepper or Rose Pepper is not the same plant as black, White and green Pepper (piper nigrum). Pink Pepper is a dried berry of the shrub Schinus molle, commonly known as the Peruvian peppertree. It has No relations to the piper plant.

[@zelloking]

When ever I watch the history about a pice or food the Europeans always are glorified them self’s and they don’t come close to what the Mexicans produce for the planet the Mexicans are the most advanced at farming they Blowout anybody of the water just with one spice or eatable they created Here is one the tomato. That alone wipes all the competition!! But when ever I see a history about a Mexican spice or eatable they don’t get the credit they deserve the whole thing starts like this m: when the first people arrive in the Americans there was this weird plant that the nomads kind of kicked around and they made it stable. What shame who makes this history videos!!!

[@HistoricalEats]

Hey, I'm curious about what you're saying here. I really want to dig deeper. What kind of spices are you referring to?
