Long Pepper
Long Pepper (Piper longum) is an ancient spice that resembles black pepper but offers a more complex, warm, and slightly sweet flavor profile. Used for centuries in Ayurveda and Traditional Chinese Medicine, this unique variety is now being rediscovered in gourmet kitchens and premium spice blends.
At Tuna Spice, our long pepper products are presented in their natural form—sun-dried, whole, and intensely aromatic.
