Lolot Leaf

Piper sarmentosum

Lolot leaf (Piper sarmentosum) comes from a herb of the pepper family native to eastern Indochina, which grows wild and is widely planted for its leaves, used as a kitchen herb. It is propagated by cutting the jointed stems into lengths of twenty to twenty-five centimetres and pushing them into damp ground. Slender flower spikes stand singly in the leaf axils and ripen into one-seeded berries. The leaves can be cut at any time of year, washed and used fresh or dried in the sun; they hold an essential oil, and taste peppery and fragrant.
