Peppercorn Pink (Schinus)

Peppercorn Pink (Schinus)

Pink Schinus, more commonly called "Pink Peppercorn", have a sweet, fruity flavour with an undertone of pine, almost no heat and a lingering warm astringency. They will compliment many fish recipes and balance rich foods such as pate or game.

Schinus pepper is the berry of a completely different tree from the pepper vine that gives us black, green, white and (confusingly) true pink peppercorns.

Schinus pepper lacks the hardness of true peppercorns and whilst they look good in a pepper grinder the tendency of their papery outer husk to crumble can easily clog the mechanism.

Stored correctly in Kitchen Herbarry packaging whole pink peppercorns will keep their quality of flavour for up to three years.

Fun Fact: True pink peppercorns (from the same vine as black, green and white peppercorns) will always be sold preserved in brine since the time at which the fruits are harvested prevents drying.
