DESCRIPTION: Genre: SchinusSpecies: S. terebinthifoliusThe pink pepper or pink berry comes from Reunion Island. Pink pepper was known in the 17th century under the name "Bourbon pepper" because it was grown on the island of Réunion called "île des Bourbons" ("Island of the Bourbons"). These berries, fruits of Schinus terebinthifolia and native to Madagascar, have sweet and slightly spicy flavors. It is the Malagasy women who select them with their expert hands. Only red, ripe berries are chosen for their aromatic strength. Pink berries are also grown on Reunion Island, in Peru, in New Caledonia, in South Africa or in Brazil. Crushed or whole, these berries, with a resinous aroma, combine very well with salmon, foie gras, carrot soup or zucchini noodles. Uses: Pink pepper has numerous applications. These Berries are ideal for adding a note of flavor to all types of salads, soups, sauces, meats and fish; and they also combine wonderfully with seafood, rice, pasta, vegetables and side dishes..CHARACTERISTICS: Grains 25 gr (0.88 oz.)
