Organic Pink Peppercorns
The pink peppercorn comes from a sprawling shrub that can grow quite large if the conditions are optimal. It has vine like branches with small white flowers and small pinkish red berries. It is native to tropical and sub-tropical climates like South America, the Caribbean, Africa and many islands in the Pacific Ocean. It was introduced to Florida in the 1840's and has since become classified as a pest by the Exotic Pest Plant Council (EPPC). The berries are not true peppercorns but are most often used as an exotic pepper substitute, and it may be found blended in conjuncture with other types of peppercorns in what is known as a Rainbow Pepper Blend. When eaten by themselves they have an almost tart taste with a slight sweet aftertaste.
Perfect for: Pink pepper is a wonderful compliment to fruit sauces, vinaigrettes, and herbal syrups.
Origin: Chile
