Tailed Pepper

Cubeb, known as kabab chini, adds a unique flavor to Indian cuisines, enriching meat, vegetable, soup, and sauce dishes. Native to Java and Sumatra, it's sometimes called Java pepper, characterized by dried berries resembling black pepper with "tails." This aromatic spice complements meat, cheese, and vegetables, often substituting for pepper in various recipes. Its distinct taste, akin to allspice and black pepper, pairs well in sausages, gingerbreads, and spiced biscuits, offering not only culinary delight but also potential health benefits, including easing chronic bronchitis symptoms and aiding digestion.
