Pink Peppercorns
Pink peppercorns are similar to peppercorns in appearance and taste. However, they are actually not peppers. They are mild and more like berries, and grow on a South American tree.
Notice the distinct fruity flavor when they melt on your tongue. Pink peppercorns are best when not cooked or added at the end of cooking.
