INCI: Piper Cubeba Fruit Powder

Cubeb Berry Powder (Piper cubeba) is a finely milled spice made from dried cubeb berries. It has a peppery bite with warm, allspice-like notes and a bright aromatic lift. The powder format is convenient for quick seasoning, tea-style infusions, and smooth blending into syrups and spirit infusions, though straining is recommended for drinks. It is a versatile spice for both savoury cooking and sweet, spiced recipes.

This product is certified: Vegan and Food Grade.

Q: Why should drinks be strained when using the powder?
A: Fine spice particles can remain suspended, so straining improves texture and clarity.

Q: Is the powder stronger than whole cubeb berries?
A: It can feel stronger because it extracts quickly and disperses evenly, so smaller amounts are often enough.

Q: What’s an easy way to use cubeb powder in cooking?
A: Add a pinch to marinades, stews, or roasted vegetables for a warm, aromatic pepper note and adjust to taste.
