lulucandoit! Posted February 22, 2013 Share Posted February 22, 2013 Just starting AIP today and was wondering if black pepper is a seed? Wikapedia says it is a drupe? I tend not to use it much, except when I am flavoring roasts. But if it is not part of the AIP, I would like to avoid it. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Tom Denham Posted February 22, 2013 Moderators Share Posted February 22, 2013 Some authorities say black pepper is okay while following an autoimmune protocol and some say it is not. One of the reasonable lists I found was at http://www.thepaleomom.com/2012/07/spices-on-autoimmune-protocol.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MsDaniMarshall Posted February 22, 2013 Share Posted February 22, 2013 Im confused because I am on day 3 of my first ever Whole30 and I was under the assumption that pepper, including cayenne pepper and spices of this sort were ok. According to the above mentioned article though, it says that arent really allowed. Which is right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
