[Sca-cooks] Uses for Cubebs

[metaphor]

Hello ,
Seems the use for Cubebs , has to so with spices and any Asian dish you 
wish to add it too, as confirmed below :



Cubeb. Piper Cubeba. Also known as: Tailed Pepper. Whole Berry, India.
Cubebs are the unripe fruits of a plant belonging to the pepper family. 
Cubebs are also known as tailed pepper because the berries retain their 
stems, 'tails', after harvesting. Cubebs have a warm, tupentine-like aroma 
with a hot, bitter taste, similar to allspice. Cubebs are best known for 
their medicinal qualities in the East.

Suggested Use:
Cubebs can be used in spice mixtures and in Indonesian cuisines. They can 
be added to any dish in place of allspice. Try cubeb berries in your next 
meat or vegetable dish.


Hope this helps
