Pink Peppercorn



Pink peppercorns are not true peppercorns but actually the dried berries from the Baies rose plant. They're cultivated in Madagascar and imported via France, hence their exorbitant price. These rose-hued berries are pungent and slightly sweet. It is a super mild chilli pepper. They have a very thin skin, little heat, and a pine-like quality, sweet fruitiness, and a bit of floral at the same time.
