In comparison to black peppercorns, pink peppercorns have extremely fruity overtones with a mild sweetness and almost no astringency. Pink pepper does not come from the same variety of plant as traditional black pepper, but instead are the ripe berries of a Brazilian or Peruvian pepper tree. With a gorgeous bright pink hue, freshly cracking these peppercorns adds an unexpected, desirable pop of color and taste. Its color looks especially great when stored in clear acrylic peppermills, which can show off this peppercorn's vibrant appearance on your tabletops.
