Long Pepper

Long pepper, also known as Java pepper, is a type of flowering vine that is native to tropical regions of Southeast Asia. The plant produces elongated fruit spikes, or spikes, that are harvested for their aromatic and flavorful seeds. Long pepper is a close relative of black and white pepper, but it has a unique flavor that is spicier and more complex than those of other peppers.

Long pepper has a warm, pungent, and slightly sweet flavor, with a hint of spiciness and a slightly bitter aftertaste. It is commonly used in traditional spice blends, such as garam masala, and is a key ingredient in many Indian, Indonesian, and Southeast Asian dishes.
