Whole cubeb pepper (tailed pepper)

Whole cubeb pepper, also known as tailed pepper, is an exceptional spice with peppery heat and a delicate freshness.

The small stalked berries of Piper cubeba offer a complex aroma: spicy, slightly bitter, somewhat resinous and subtly menthol-like. Freshly crushed in a mortar or ground, cubeb pepper enhances Middle Eastern and North African dishes, lamb, game, dark sauces, vegetable stir-fries, rice dishes, chutneys and spice blends.
