Cubeb Pepper Whole Spice - Berries Java Cubed Pepper350g

Cubeb berries, or tailed peppers, are a carefully dried and prepared fruit which is very similar to black pepper. When ground or milled, like common black pepper, these berries provide a flavour much closer to allspice than the pepper you'll find in your cupboard. Cubeb pepper has been used widely throughout Asia and Africa for centuries, often to marinade meat or as an ingredient in vinegar-based sauces. By experimenting with this beloved spice, you'll soon understand why it's quite so popular! As well as flavouring foods, cubeb has also been used to flavour spirits. If you're making your own Sloe Gin with our sloe berries, why not drop in a handful of cubeb too for a truly unique flavour combination? 100% natural Kitchen notes: grind the berries fresh just before use - the tails come away in the mill - and add them late so the piney, peppery aroma is not cooked off.
