Negro pepper, also known as Eru/Uda, is a unique spice that hails from the berries of the Piper cubeba plant, which is native to Indonesia or Africa. This aromatic spice features a distinct flavour that combines hints of allspice, black pepper, and a slight bitterness, making it a versatile addition to various culinary dishes. Traditionally, it has been utilized in both savoury and sweet recipes, enriching everything from meat marinades to desserts or soup (such as Pepper-soup) with its fragrant notes.
Beyond its culinary uses, negro pepper is also celebrated for its potential health benefits, including antibacterial properties and digestive support. Often used in traditional medicine, it demonstrates the fascinating intersection of flavour and wellness. Whether sprinkled over a dish or infused in oils, negro pepper undoubtedly adds an exotic touch to modern cuisine, inviting adventurous cooks to explore its complex profile.
