Description: Piper Longum, a close relative of the black pepper plant also produces seeds that are collected as a spice. Small, peppery but slightly sweet seeds are held in the long flower buds, called catkins.These buds are dried whole and collected for culinary use along with the roots. Featured in Indian and Nepalese cooking, "long pepper", as it is called, is used as a spice in much the same way as black pepper for which it can be a substitute. Also known as pippali, long pepper is a core spice in the Indian/Pakistani stew dish, Nihari. Piper longum is a perennial vine plant that is much easier to grow than black pepper (p. Nigrum). It can be reproduced by cloning more easily too and so it may be a more viable option for actually producing a supply of spice for some people. These are well-roote plants measuring roughly 9-12". These grow much more quickly than piper nigrum,
