Pippali long pepper

Pepper with a fruity taste

Long pepper in Indian cuisine

Pippali (long pepper) is the fruit of a liana native to India. It differs from other peppers in its flavor, its culinary approach and its health benefits. It is a mild pepper with a warm, slightly sweet flavor that is not as strong as that of black pepper. It is very fragrant with a fruity entry in mouth. In the background there is a slight taste of cinnamon which makes it the perfect partner for desserts, especially chocolate or melon.

The benefits of long pepper

This long pepper is consumed in India to improve the cerebral functions, the blood circulation and to support the breathing. Like black pepper, it has digestive virtues since the presence of piperine stimulates the production of bile for the evacuation of toxins. Piperine also promotes a better assimilation of nutrients by helping them to cross the intestinal wall.
