Spices

 Peppercorns were a much-prized trade good, often referred to as "black gold" and used as a form of commodity money. The legacy of this trade remains in some Western legal systems that recognize the term "peppercorn rent" as a token payment for something that is, essentially, being given. Pepper (both long and black) was known in Greece at least as early as the fourth century BCE, though it was probably an uncommon and expensive item that only the very rich could afford.

It is used in the preparation in every kind of meal and recipe, you can use it in main dishes, salads and even in desserts to give them an exceptional taste, as it is great with chocolate.
