Long Pepper (also known as Indian Long Pepper or ‘Pippli’) is a fruit of a flowering vine that is native to India. It is used in Indian, Asian, Mediterranean and African cuisine. It was a popular spice in ancient Greece, Rome and some parts of Europe.
Spice Zen’s Long Pepper is organic and of premium quality. We only use a premium variety of Long pepper from India (Piper longum), rather than the Javanese variety (Piper retrofractum) from Indonesia and South East Asia. Long Pepper has a complex flavour with its earthy, spicy, citrusy, musky and sweet-heat. It is not as strong or stinging as its close cousin – black pepper. It has sweet notes of cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg and cardamom.
