100g of Pink Peppercorns packed in our plant based cellulose, compostable bags.
Pink peppercorns are the dried berries of the Schinus molle tree, also known as the Peruvian pepper tree, though they are not true peppercorns (Piper nigrum), which come from a different plant. They are small, round, and pinkish-red in colour, with a delicate, fruity flavour that is slightly sweet, mildly spicy, and aromatic. Pink peppercorns are often used in both culinary and decorative applications due to their vibrant colour and unique taste.
In cooking, pink peppercorns are commonly used in spice blends, salad dressings, sauces, and as a garnish for dishes like seafood, poultry, and vegetables. Their flavour is less intense and more aromatic compared to black peppercorns, making them ideal for light or delicate dishes. They can be used whole or crushed, though care should be taken not to use them excessively, as their flavour can easily overpower a dish. In addition to their culinary uses, pink peppercorns have been traditionally used for their medicinal properties in some cultures, believed to have anti-inflammatory and digestive benefits. However, they should be avoided by individuals with nut allergies, as they belong to the same botanical family as cashews.
