Long pepper
This variety has a similar taste to black pepper, but differs in shape, being more
elongated, and resembles a pinecone or corncob owing to the union of its fruits. Its
aftertaste is warm and aromatic, with a hint of liquorice and aniseed. It is surprisingly good
for desserts.
The plant in the wild originates from the foothills of the Himalayas and belongs to the Piperaceae family. Long pepper is not that famous in Europe, having its culinary origins in
Eastern countries such as India, Indonesia and China, where it is often mixed with curry.
