Long pepper is a fruit of a flowering vine, smells sweetly fragrant, mildly heating, and has a cooling, numbing after taste. So all the things we love about pepper!
"Long pepper possesses black pepper's heat and musk, but in a less harsh, more nuanced way, tempered by sweet notes of nutmeg, cinnamon, and cardamom. Its finish lingers on the tongue with a tobacco-like coolness; where black pepper stings, long pepper balms" -Max Falkowitz.
A gorgeous spice used as an alternative to black pepper.
Used in Asian, East African, and North African dishes and pickles.
Long pepper offers health benefits including aphrodisiac and, anti-aging effects. Commonly used to treat indigestion, asthma, cough, cold, and congestion.
