Pink Peppercorns

Pink peppercorns – a mild Schinus fruit with a decorative colour

Made and packed in Klingenberg am Main. Pink peppercorns are the dried red fruits of the Schinus tree. They are not hot and taste mild-resinous, similar to juniper, but less intense and with a lightly sweetish note. Please do not confuse them with real red pepper; botanically, pink peppercorns are not pepper.

Note: not suitable for the mill, the berries are too soft and crumbly. Best to rub them between your fingers or press lightly in the mortar.

How to use

Great with fish, poultry, game and rich meat. As a special aroma, scatter over raw marinated fish, carpaccio and salads, simply rubbing the berries between your fingers. Also a highlight in light sauces, on cream cheese, in desserts and on chocolate. Thanks to their bright red colour they are at the same time wonderfully decorative.
