cubeb pepper

Cubeb is a climbing plant that can reach a height of 5m. Its dark green, leathery leaves can be about 15cm long. The inconspicuous flowers develop into spherical green fruits that are about 5mm wide. These are harvested unripe and dried in the sun until they are brown/black. Cubeb pepper, also called rush pepper, cubebo, tail pepper or Javanese pepper, is often used instead of allspice.

Use:

This aromatic pepper with a lemony taste is warm and camphor-like. When marinated in wine, it has an aphrodisiac effect. Cubeb pepper is particularly popular in Indonesian cuisine and can be used in any dish instead of allspice.

Origin: Indonesia

Storage:

Cubeb pepper should be stored dry and ideally airtight to retain its intense aroma for a particularly long time.
