Long pepper is also known as pippali and is a very unique spice to have in your arsenal. It is the fruit of the piper lognum and unlike many other fruits and spices, it is more beneficial to your health when it is still unripe.
Long pepper is dried under the sun, in slight shade, and then used. This pepper, also called Indian long pepper, is widely used in Ayurvedic medicine and offers various health benefits.
It is specifically used to add sour taste in the authentic Kerala fish curries. Unlike its name Malabar tamarind, it is a small round-shaped fruit which resembles miniature of pumpkin. The reason behind sour taste is the presence of a hydroxycitric acid which adds the sour flavour to the fruit.
Shikakai scientifically known as Acacia concinna is a shrub like tree grown in Central India. It has been used since centuries as cleanser for hair and body.
