Pink peppercorns are the dried berries of the Schinus molle or Schinus terebinthifolius shrub. It is visually stunning, aromatic, and mildly spicy with a sweet, fruity warmth that black pepper lacks. Unlike traditional peppercorns, they have a delicate skin that crumbles easily and should be added late in cooking or used as a finishing spice. In Bangladesh, they are prized by fine-dining chefs, home bakers, and specialty tea enthusiasts. Use them whole, lightly crushed, or blended into colourful mixed pepper medleys.

What Are PINK PEPPERCORN?
Pink peppercorns are not botanically related to black, white, or green peppercorns. They are the dried fruit of Brazilian pepper trees (Schinus terebinthifolius) or Peruvian pepper trees (Schinus molle), widely used in French, Brazilian, and modern fusion cuisines. Their rosy colour and gentle heat make them a visually appealing and flavour-enhancing spice.
