LONG PEPPER

* RESEALABLE BAG *

COMPOSITION: LONG PEPPER.

HISTORY :

The flowering vine that produces long pepper grows wild in the tropical Himalayas. The plant is native to India and Indonesia. Although it is somewhat forgotten in our recipes today, it was one of the first spices to reach European soil, long before the other varieties of pepper that you can also discover and buy on our site.

PROPERTIES :

Many benefits are attributed to long pepper: it would have a power of vasodilatation, anti-cough, and would help to fight against the intestinal worms. These medicinal virtues are exploited in many parts of the world as Indonesians use the leaf of the long pepper as a toothpaste and to alleviate their toothache.

COOKING :

Used sparingly on chicken, it is an excellent seasoning for lamb and all vegetables.

Long pepper will bring out the best in basic rice or cereals that are usually too bland...

A "poached salmon with milk and spices" made with the long pepper on sale on our site will delight the most discriminating palates.

A basic fruit salad or a simple sweet milk will be full of sunshine and warmth with just a hint of our spice.

For its sweet variant, you can also enjoy it in your crumbles, pies, compotes, biscuits and homemade jams!
