Whole Pink Peppercorns Tin

While called peppercorns, pink peppercorns aren’t truly peppercorns, and you can’t really expect to swap them for black peppercorns and get the same results. Pink peppercorns have a very mild heat level and a bit of a wonderful fruity flavor. I recently made savory shortbread cookies using pink peppercorns and fresh herbs in the dough and to decorate. Delicious and pretty!

I have never isolated pink peppercorns in a mixed peppercorn melange and tasted it, so I was not prepared for its flavor and texture. I love this pepper, although I'm struggling to describe it. It's not hot, but has a definite spicy/sweet flavor. I actually ate a few just because between the soft crunch and sweet flavor, it was kind of like eating a snack. I can see I have a new must-have in my kitchen, and I won't be buying it in a small tin the next time!

They seem a bit stale , but still have slight pink pepper taste . I mainly use it for health and adding color to dishes .

Good value for money. Great company SPICE. Please see recipe I used. I got the wow factor at a dinner party: Half cup white wine, 2 tablespoons brandy, half cup beef stock, 2 tablespoons pink peppercorns, half cup cream.Add white wine and brandy to sauce pan after cooking meat/chicken and simmer for about 4 minutes or until reduced by half. Add beef stock and reduce by half again. Stir in peppercorns and wine. Cook gently till sauce has slightly thicken. Pour over meat.Yummy yummy!!

Great quality product. A word of warning.... use very sparingly; they're HOT!!!! The bite of this peppercorn I would compare with cyanne pepper. Very spicy. It works great in mexican dishes to add a little vest to the dish.

Taste great! Works well with my peppercorn blend.

Love this,a lot more flavor than I expected.

Other reviewers had noted that these were extra spicy, and I was looking for something with more heat to smash into cocktails. They may be a tiny bit warmer than the ones I got at the grocery store but not by much. They're great in flavor and clean (no stems, etc) so basically just what I was looking for, but perhaps priced a bit higher than I would expect and probably more expensive than you can find locally for a similar quality.
