RED PEPPER ORGANIC CERTIFIED

Pink peppercorns aren't actually berries, but rather dried, aromatic fruits from a shrub called Schinus molle, also known as false pepper or pink peppercorn. This plant is native to South America, but is now grown in many parts of the world for its fruit.

Pink berries have a fruity, slightly sweet and spicy taste, with a slight peppery flavor. They are often used to flavor savory and sweet dishes, as well as to decorate dishes due to their beautiful dark pink color. Pink peppercorns are particularly popular in French cuisine, where they are often used to add flavor to dishes such as meats, seafood, salads and sauces.

In addition to their use in cooking, pink peppercorns also have medicinal properties, including antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and antiseptic properties. They can also help stimulate digestion and relieve digestive issues such as nausea and bloating. However, as with any herbal remedy, it is important to consult a healthcare professional before using it for medicinal purposes.
