These have an air that’s sharp and musky, like an autumn day hewn together by sunlight and crisp winds.

Pink Peppercorns add a unique, feisty flavor all their own, full of mildly spicy, fruity flavors with slight floral tones Substitute them for some (or even all) of the black pepper in a recipe to add extra dimension Gluten-Free, Kosher Parve, Non-GMO Instead of coming from the vine that black, white, and green pepper is sourced from, pink peppercorns are the berries of Peruvian pepper tree that grows throughout South America, but often is grown throughout suburban North America.

Recommended Applications This Pink Peppercorn is great in recipes, used in place of pepper, to create creamy salad dressings, vinaigrettes, marinades, or sauces. Another great use, roll filet mignon or pork tenderloin in the Pink Peppercorns prior to grilling or roasting, for an elegant sweet pepper flavor.

Another way to add the whole peppercorn flavoring is to place them in a cheese cloth bag and let simmer in a stew or soup, remove the bag before serving. Also notable, pepper looses its flavoring during extended cooing periods, so it is best to add towards the end of cooking. Ingredients Pink peppercorns.
