In 5th century Attila the Hun, demanded a ransom of more than a ton of pepper when he besieged the city of Rome. In the middle ages, pepper was a luxury item that only the wealthy could afford. Peppercorns were so highly traded that is was referred to as “black gold” and used as a form of currency. At one point, it was literally worth its weight in gold. Today, black pepper is still the world’s most traded spice.
