Long Pepper, (Piper Retrofactum) the Indian variety, is absolutely brilliant. With its slightly hotter flavour than ordinary black pepper, this amazing pepper packs a lot more than just heat. The taste is wonderful, very aromatic and full of flavour. Alongside the peppery spiciness, Long Pepper delivers a taste similar to that of mixed spice. A lingering, aromatic warmth! Long Pepper can be used in place of regular black pepper. Naturally great in any savoury dish but also wonderful in sweet dishes. Try a light sprinkling on fresh pineapple slices or to cut through the richness of a chocolate cake. It truly is a wonderful enhancement to any dish!
