Long Pepper (Piper Longum), is a flowering vine of the family Piperaceae, cultivated for its fruit, which is usually dried and used as a spice and seasoning. Both Chinese and Indian cultures have discovered medicinal benefits from using long pepper. Long Pepper grows 'upwards' instead of hanging down like round pepper. Many small grains cluster together in the body, which is called a 'catkin.' A fleshy, fruity component glues the grains together forming a spike that measures 3-4 cm in length. Long pepper spikes left on the vine ripen to a red color. There is a short period before this color change when they are still green yet mature enough to be eaten. This is the optimum time to harvest this, especially when eating them fresh. Fresh green pepper turns black and fresh red pepper turns dark red when dried. There is little difference in flavor between the two after they are dried. It is also known as pipalli, thippali, pipli, java/Indonesian long pepper, bi bo (Chinese), etc. and has many health benefits. It helps in fighting against bacterial infections, prevention against liver ailments, and many other useful benefits. The roots and fruits of Pippali are used for its medicinal purposes. Fruits of this plant are slight yellow to orange in color and pungent in taste. Indian long pepper is mostly derived from the wild plants, but is also grown in small area in the Khasi hills, the lower hills of West Bengal, Eastern Uttar Pradesh, Madhya Pradesh, Maharashtra, Kerala, Karnataka and Tamil Nadu. It occurs wild in the forests of Andhra Pradesh and Andaman & Nicobar Islands as well.
