THERAPEUTIC EFFECT
Aromatic, slightly acrid (spicy) and slightly bitter.
In the fruits of Selim pepper, the essential oil (2-4.5%) consists mainly of ß-pinene, 1,8-cineol, a-terpineol, terpinene-4-ol, paradol, bisabolene and other terpenes. In other research, linalool (E)-ß-ocimene, a-farnesene, ß-pinene, a-pinene, myrtenol and ß-phellandrene were identified, along with traces of vanillin and 3-ethylphenol (Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry, 47, 3285, 1999)
Later, Selim pepper was sold only as a pepper substitute (or replacement) in times of war or lack of resources.
The last time we found it was after the Second World War until the 1960s. Today it is difficult to find it outside the countries of production.
Selim seed is found from Ethiopia to Senegal.
Its taste is a mixture of cubeb and nutmeg. Its use is frequent in all countries where this plant is found in the wild.
It is used as a spice but also for its medicinal and aphrodisiac properties.
In Senegal, it is used to flavour Touba coffee, a traditional drink of the Mourides, but also to make aphrodisiac drinks.
