The Portuguese, led by Vasco da Gama, primarily sought pepper from India, which was then known as 'black gold' for its high value in European markets. Pepper was the main spice that drove the Portuguese trade expansion to India. Coconut, coffee, and tea were not the primary commodities the Portuguese initially sought.
