Pink Peppercorns

Pink peppercorns, though not true peppercorns, offer a delicate, sweet, and slightly floral flavor with a gentle heat that lingers. Their aroma is fresh and fruity, reminiscent of rose petals and citrus. The texture is firm yet yields a satisfying crunch when bitten into. Originating from the dried berries of the Baies roses tree in South America, they add a vibrant pop of color and a nuanced taste to dishes. Valued for their visual appeal and unique flavor profile, they elevate both sweet and savory dishes with a touch of sophistication.
