Some of the most powerful spices on the planet are ones you’ve probably never heard of. In this episode, I’m going to tell you what they are and why I keep them in my own kitchen.

Believe it or not, cultures around the world have used these spices as medicine for thousands of years, and the research is finally catching up to why. They’re easy to cook with, they add real flavor to your meals, and they may do far more for your health than you’d expect.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

• The black pepper swap I use daily – and why it’s better for your health (01:31)
• The seed found in King Tut’s tomb, and what happened when it was tested on blood sugar and cholesterol (03:02)
