Pink Peppercorns, Whole

Pink peppercorns are a delightful pinky red colour with sweet, fruity notes and a peppery flavour. Native to Brazil, Paraguay and Argentina, the berries are also known as Brazilian Pepper, Christmasberry and Baies Roses. Their famous colour (which is where they get their name from) adds a visual appeal and vibrance to any dish or spice blend.

These peppercorns are dried fruit of Schinus molle plant. Even though they are not technically part of the pepper family, their likeness and similar flavour marks them an honoury member.

Pink Peppercorns are commonly used in both savoury and sweet dishes, including fruit-based desserts as well as chocolate and vanilla treats. They’re a great way to add colour to salads, seafood, cheese sauces and eggs. As their flavour is mild, use with fish and other delicate dishes. Known for their fragrant aroma, when you crush or grind them the essential oils are released, which intensify the flavour and smell.
