THIPPILI / ARISI THIPPILI

Its slender, elongated fruits have been prized for centuries in Siddha and Ayurvedic literature, not only as a culinary spice but also as a valued herb in traditional medicine. Widely recognized for its distinctive aroma and pungency, Thippili has played an important role in Indian herbal heritage, reflecting the rich history of plant-based remedies and the cultural knowledge surrounding indigenous spices and herbs.
