Bengal pepper
Long pepper (Piper longum), also called Indian long pepper or Bengal pepper, is a flowering vine in the Piperaceae family and is cultivated for its fruit, which is usually dried and used as a spice. Long pepper has a flavor similar to its close relative Piper nigrum (black pepper), but is hotter.
Today, long pepper is a very rare ingredient in European cuisines, but it can still be found in Indian and Nepalese vegetable pickles, some North African spice mixes, as well as in Indonesian and Malaysian cooking. It is readily available in Indian grocery stores where it is usually labeled as pippali.
