➤ DESCRIPTION





Cubeba pepper originated in Indonesia. While Cubeba pepper is widely reported to have reached Europe through Venetian trade with the Arabs around the 14th century, historians believe that its connection to Europe is actually much older.



In fact, the writings of Theophrastus indicate that the Ancient Greeks traded with Java and were early consumers of Piperio Cubeba. This means that the spice was used in Europe as early as the 4th century BC. When trading the peppers, Indonesian farmers sterilised the berries by scalding them so that they could not be grown elsewhere.



Cubeba pepper arrived in China during the Chang dynasty. It is known to have been used by the Arabs in the 9th century as a medicine and then in food in the 10th century. The name Kubeba comes from the Arabic word for spice: al-kabaabah



In the 16th century, Kubeba pepper would be used as an alternative to black pepper in Europe. In this respect, it was very similar to grains of paradise. In the 17th century, Nicholas Culpeper would write about the medicinal benefits of pepper. It was still used as a medicine in England in the early 19th century and into the 20th century.



Today, Cubeba pepper is still grown throughout Asia and in some parts of Africa
