*Long pepper (Piper longum), sometimes called Indian long pepper or pippali,
is a flowering vine in the family Piperaceae, cultivated for its fruit, which
is usually dried and used as a spice and seasoning. Long pepper has a taste
similar to, but hotter than, that of its close relative Piper nigrum ? from
which black, green and white pepper are obtained.
Long Pepper has a unique flavor not found in regular pepper, it can be hard
to define (some say it's lemony).
This is a whole (not powdered) product. You will need a grinder or mortar
and pestle; though it is not as hard as regular pepper.
