TAILED MIRIYALU (TOKA MIRIYALU)

Description

Tailed Miriyalu, also called Toka Miriyalu or Cubeb Pepper, are dried berries that resemble black pepper but are distinct with their characteristic “tail.” Used since ancient times in Ayurveda, Unani, and traditional medicine, they are prized for their antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, and digestive properties.

In Ayurveda, Tailed Miriyalu are commonly used to treat cough, asthma, sore throat, digestive issues, and urinary tract infections. They are also known to boost metabolism, improve appetite, and promote overall wellness.

Culinary-wise, they are used as a spice in pickles, curries, spice blends, and even in herbal teas. Their slightly bitter, pungent, and aromatic flavor adds a unique touch to traditional dishes.
