Long Pepper - Non Organic - Steenbergs - Glass Jar

Product - Long Pepper from Indonesia - 48 grams of high quality Long Pepper (Non Organic Product)

Product Information - There are 2 types of long pepper – one from India (Piper longum) and the other from Indonesia (Piper retrofactum). They grow on slender vines that have sparser-looking foliage compared to classic pepper vines. Both types of long pepper are shaped like mini catkins 5mm in diameter and 3cm in length with similar colour to black peppercorns, i.e. dark brown to black.  Long pepper has a strange sweet and fragrant aroma that seems like incense, but the flavour is bitingly hot and lingering. Indonesian black pepper is slightly longer and more pungent that the Indian variety. Use them in pickles instead of black pepper to give more bite or in North African or Ethiopian dishes.
