Cubebs
From LoveToKnow 1911
CUBEBS (Arab. kababah), the fruit of several species of pepper (Piper), belonging to the natural order Piperaceae.
Cubeb pepper with flowers (botanical identity uncertain)
Flowering cubeb pepper (botanical identity uncertain) The bitter and hot cubebs have been a popular substitute for black pepper in 16.th and 17.
Cubebs should be freshly prepared as the oil evaporates; the powder is often adulterated with pimento. The crushed fruit should turn crimson with the addition of sulphuric acid and give a mace-like smell; this experiment will detect any adulteration.
Cubeb is the name for the berry and for the oil obtained from the unripe berry of the East Indian climbing shrub P. cubeba. The dried fruits are sometimes used as a condiment or are ground and smoked in cigarette form as a catarrh remedy.
