Botanical name: Piper longum
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.
Long Pepper can be used whole, ground coarse or ground fine. Add it at the end of the cooking to preserve its flavour. Use dried whole pepper for soups, marinades, roasts and stews. Use ground long pepper as an alternative to black pepper and good with burritos, burgers, curries, salads, roasts and vegetables.
Long Pepper is good with eggs, fish, chicken, lentils, salads, mild stews, pickles, roasted meat (beef, pork, lamb), soups, strawberries and sweet dishes. It is great with vegetables like artichokes, asparagus, mushrooms, potatoes and tomatoes.
It has been used for centuries in Ayurveda and other traditional medicines for its gastrointestinal, anti-inflammatory, respiratory, liver health and aphrodisiac properties. It is known to be a good source of antioxidant, Vitamin C and A. Its nutritional properties differ from black pepper and is often used in conjunction with black pepper in Ayurvedic recipes.
