Red Long Pepper – The Exclusive Piper Longum from Cambodia
Red Long Pepper, also known as Piper longum, is a rare and exquisite variety of pepper native to Cambodia. This pepper, also referred to as Long Pepper, Jamborandi, or Bengali Pepper, has a long history. It was the first pepper to be introduced to Europe by Alexander the Great, and it was widely used before being replaced by the more common peppercorns known today.
What makes the Red Long Pepper so unique is that it is harvested only when it reaches full ripeness, turning a reddish-brown color. This precise harvesting process is a challenge, as the farmer must carefully monitor the weather and the pepper’s maturity. A sudden change in weather can spoil the crop, which is why this pepper is so rare and expensive.
