Country of Origin: Sri Lanka
Common Name: Cubeb Berries Whole
English Name: Whole Cubeb Berries

Also Known As: Piper cubeba Berries, Java Pepper, Dried Cubeb Berries, Cubeb Spice
Part Used: Whole dried berries of Piper cubeba
Description: Cubeb Berries Whole are produced from the dried fruit of Piper cubeba, a climbing vine native to Indonesia and widely cultivated in tropical regions. The plant produces small, round berries with a rough, dark brown to black exterior and a light brown interior. The berries are harvested when fully mature to ensure uniform size, aroma, and visual quality.
After harvesting, the berries are cleaned to remove stems, leaves, and extraneous debris. They are then dried using controlled low-temperature air-drying methods to maintain the natural colour, shape, and firm texture of the berries. This careful processing ensures the berries retain their structural integrity and characteristic appearance.
The finished whole cubeb berries are uniform in size, firm, and free-flowing, with a rough, dark exterior and intact seeds inside. Their preserved natural shape makes them suitable for use where visual and textural consistency is important, while maintaining the distinctive appearance of the fruit.
Uses: Whole Cubeb Berries are used in culinary applications such as spice blends, seasonings, marinades, and pickling where whole dried berries are preferred. They are also suitable for botanical craft projects, decorative herb displays, potpourri-style blends, and educational kits that require visually identifiable dried berries for texture and aesthetic appeal.
Storage: Store in a cool, dry, dark place in an airtight container. Refrigeration not required.
