Long Pepper Powder

Long Pepper is a traditional Ayurvedic spice and medicinal herb derived from the dried fruit spikes of the Piper longum plant. Known for its sharp, warming, and slightly sweet-spicy flavor, long pepper has been used for centuries in herbal medicine and culinary applications.

It is a key ingredient in many classical Ayurvedic formulations, particularly for respiratory and digestive support. Long pepper contains the active compound piperine, along with essential oils and powerful antioxidants that contribute to its wellness-supporting properties.
