Monk's Pepper - Vitex agnus castus

Monk's pepper (Vitex agnus castus L.) grows naturally in countries around the Mediterranean. It is known as monk's pepper or chaste tree berries and is prized as a spice in this region.

Monks who had taken a vow of chastity once used this herb to suppress their physical desires, due to its supposed dampening effect on libido. This explains the Dutch name monk's pepper.
