Pink Peppercorns - Schinus Berries from Brazil

Pink Peppercorns - Schinus Berries from Brazil are vibrant Schinus berries renowned for their sweet, fruity flavor with a subtle sharpness. These pink peppercorns (Schinus molle) belong to the false pepper family but offer an exceptional taste that works wonderfully in sauces, poultry, meat, game dishes, desserts, and delicate vegetables. Our premium Pink Peppercorns - Schinus Berries from Brazil have been treasured since the ancient Inca civilization and bring both vibrant color and unique aroma to fine gourmet cooking.

What are Pink Peppercorns?

Pink peppercorns, also called Schinus berries, come from the Schinus molle tree, which is native to South America. Despite their name, these are not true peppercorns like Piper nigrum. Instead, they are aromatic berries with a distinct flavor profile. These pink peppercorns provide a sweet, fruity taste paired with delicate sharpness. This makes them ideal for both savory and sweet dishes where traditional pepper might be too overpowering.
