Long pepper (pippali): the Ayurvedic spice of a thousand uses
Long pepper (Piper longum), known as pippali in Hindi, is a botanical cousin of black pepper, sharing the same Piperaceae family. It comes as small whole dried catkins, resembling tiny spikes, harvested in Madhya Pradesh, in the heart of India. A pillar of Ayurvedic medicine for millennia, it is also a prized culinary spice, with a flavour far more complex and penetrating than black pepper.
Why choose whole catkins?
Whole, long pepper catkins keep their essential oils and piperine far longer than a pre-ground powder. You can infuse them as they are in a chai or broth for a soft, gradual flavour, or grind them at the last moment for maximum aromatic power in your marinades and Ayurvedic preparations.
Culinary uses:
- Infused whole in a chai or Ayurvedic decoction for a gentle, spiced warmth
- Ground to season Indian-style pickles and chutneys
- Added to slow-cooked dishes (curries, dals) for aromatic depth
- Used in meat or fish marinades
- A key ingredient of Ayurvedic trikatu, alongside ginger and black pepper
- Infused into honey or ghee for traditional Ayurvedic preparations
Origin and quality:
Our long pepper comes from Madhya Pradesh, in the heart of India.
Storage:
To preserve all its aromas, store your long pepper in a dry place, away from light and humidity, in its airtight packaging.

Pourquoi choisir Long Pepper (Pippali) from Madhya Pradesh de La Table Indienne ?
Fraîcheur et qualité exceptionnelles
Nos épices sont importées directement d'Inde et conditionnées à la demande pour garantir une fraîcheur optimale. Contrairement aux épices vendues en grande surface qui peuvent rester des mois sur les étagères, nous veillons à ce que chaque épice conserve toute sa saveur et son arôme.
Authenticité et traçabilité
Chaque épice provient de régions spécifiques en Inde réputées pour leur savoir-faire. Nous travaillons directement avec des producteurs locaux qui cultivent leurs épices de manière traditionnelle, sans pesticides ni produits chimiques.
Comment bien utiliser cette épice ?
Pour révéler tous les arômes, nous recommandons de faire légèrement griller les épices entières à sec dans une poêle avant de les moudre. Conservez-les dans un endroit sec et à l'abri de la lumière pour préserver leur fraîcheur le plus longtemps possible.
