Cubeb (Piper cubeba), or tailed pepper has been described as having a flavour similar to that of Allspice. We find they are peppery, leaving the mouth feeling fresh as though having just finished a peppermint.
They are often used to flavour gin and other alcoholic beverages and are used extensively African and Moroccan cuisines, where they're an ingredient in soups, stews and baked goods.
Ayurveda values cubeb pepper as a spice, cosmetic, and medicine. The terpenes contained in the berries of the plant have anti-inflammatory and anti-bacterial properties. Cubeb relieves headaches and dizziness, serves as an aphrodisiac and promotes concentration. Crushed cubeb pepper powder are supposed to have a stimulating effect when smoked (not something we advocate)
