Organic Long Pepper (Pippali) | Digestive Spice | Ideal for Herbal Blends

  • Discover the distinctive flavour of Long Pepper, also known as Pippali , an aromatic spice traditionally used in Indian cooking and Ayurveda.

    Long Pepper has a warm, earthy and slightly sweet heat that develops gradually on the palate. Compared with regular black pepper, its flavour is deeper and more complex, making it a wonderful addition to curries, soups, spice blends, herbal infusions and traditional recipes.

    Naturally containing piperine and other plant compounds, Pippali has been valued for generations as both a culinary spice and an ingredient in traditional Ayurvedic preparations.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is Long Pepper?

Long Pepper, traditionally known as Pippali, is a spice with small elongated pepper-like fruits. It has been used in Indian cuisine and traditional Ayurvedic preparations for generations.

Is Long Pepper the same as black pepper?

No. Although both have a peppery flavour and naturally contain piperine, Long Pepper has a more complex taste with earthy, warm and slightly sweet notes.

Is Long Pepper very spicy?

It has noticeable warmth, but the heat tends to develop more gradually than regular black pepper. Because its flavour is concentrated, we recommend starting with a small amount and adjusting to taste.

How do I use whole Long Pepper?

You can crush it using a mortar and pestle or grind it in a spice grinder. It can also be simmered whole or lightly crushed in soups, stews and herbal infusions.

Can I make tea with Long Pepper?

Yes. Long Pepper is traditionally used in warming herbal preparations. A small amount can be simmered with water and spices such as ginger, cinnamon, cardamom or turmeric.

Can Long Pepper be used in everyday cooking?

Absolutely. Try it in lentils, curries, soups, vegetables, marinades, spice blends, pickles and savoury dishes wherever you would normally use pepper.

Should Long Pepper be roasted before grinding?

It isn't necessary, but gently dry-roasting it for a short time can help release its aroma. Avoid overheating or burning the spice.

How should I store Long Pepper?

Store in an airtight container in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and moisture. Keeping it whole until needed can help preserve its aroma and flavour.
