The Intriguing Tailed Pepper

Embraced by India for its unique flavor and therapeutic properties, Cubeb Pepper, also known as 'Tailed Pepper', traces its roots to Indonesia but has found a second home in the Western Ghats of India. This intriguing spice is cherished for its complex aromatic profile that goes far beyond simple peppery heat.

High-quality Cubeb Peppers are distinguished by their dark, slightly oily appearance and the characteristic 'tail' left attached to the berry. This ensures an authentic and potent spice, ready to add a fresh, multidimensional twist to your classical recipes.
