The Ancient Pepper of Ayurveda

Indigenous to the Indian subcontinent, Long Pepper, revered as 'Pippali' in ancient scriptures, is a treasured spice and medicinal herb. Sourced from the Himalayan foothills and the warm, humid regions of Northeast India, our Long Pepper is prized for its intense flavor and therapeutic qualities. Its unique, elongated, catkin-like shape immediately distinguishes it from its common pepper cousins.

Superior quality Long Pepper is deep brown to black, slightly wrinkled, and firm to the touch. Its rich, complex flavor has made it a celebrated spice in Ayurveda and traditional Indian dishes for millennia.

Flavor & Aroma:

  • Taste: A complex flavor profile that starts with a "sweet heat," followed by earthy undertones and a mildly spicy finish.
  • Aroma: A deep and resonant scent, reminiscent of a warm blend of nutmeg and cinnamon.

Health Benefits

Known to be a powerful digestive stimulant that helps enhance metabolism.

It is recognized for its unique ability to help balance the three doshas: Vata, Pitta, and Kapha.

Usage & Storage

Pro Tip: To unlock its full, nuanced flavor spectrum, it's best to grind or crush the Long Pepper just before use.

Can be added whole to slow-simmering soups, stews, and lentils.

Storage: Keep in an airtight container in a cool, dark place to protect its unique aroma and potent properties.

Trivia

Before the widespread trade of black pepper, Long Pepper was one of the most popular and valuable spices in Europe.

Its name in Sanskrit is 'Pippali', and it is one of the three key ingredients in the classic Ayurvedic formulation 'Trikatu'.

Unlike round peppercorns, Long Pepper is a composite fruit, consisting of many tiny fruitlets fused together on a single stalk.
