Cubeb pepper (cubeb pepper) whole

SHORT DESCRIPTION
Cubeb pepper is harvested from an Indonesian plant and is also known as rush pepper and Javanese pepper. Cubeb pepper was widely used in the Middle Ages because it was much cheaper than real pepper. If you want a pepper specialty in your kitchen, you've come to the right place.

USE
Cubeb pepper pairs perfectly with vegetable and meat dishes, and it also tastes wonderful with game. And for the adventurous, you should definitely try it in chocolate desserts – a delightful flavor combination!

GOOD TO KNOW
Cubeb pepper pairs well with many meat and vegetable dishes, and is best cooked whole in braised dishes. It's ideal for game dishes where it can combine with juniper. Cubeb pepper also adds interesting flavors to desserts.

TASTE
Cubeb pepper has a relatively mild flavor, though it does deliver a tingling spiciness on the palate. This is almost reminiscent of the exceptional qualities of Szechuan pepper. Furthermore, cubeb pepper delights gourmets with its delicate lemony notes and eucalyptus aroma, which lends it a pleasant freshness. Its seeds are easily crushed, for example in a mortar or with the blade of a kitchen knife – this is also the best way to release their flavor. Cubeb pepper is also a key ingredient in many spice blends, such as the well-known and popular Moroccan Ras el Hanout.
