Pepper Rasam : The Digestive Soup
Rasam plays the primary role of promoting digestion. Its piperine in content in black pepper ensures that the stomach is signaled to produce more acid. This helps digest food, such as proteins better, and prevents flatulence, indigestion, gas, constipation, acidity and diarrhea.
