Pepper Long Whole

Native to Indonesia, Long Pepper looks like a short ratÕs tail about 3cm long. It grows on a small vine related to true pepper and cubeb pepper. The aroma is sweet, fragrant and musk-like and the flavour is similarly musky and peppery. Used in many exotic Asian dishes and clear soups. Long Pepper goes well with galangal, turmeric and kenchur in rich, thick curries.
