Description

We, at Burma Spice, have found for you the most beautiful pink peppercorns and packaged them in these beautiful glass containers.

Our oval swing-top clear glass spice preserve bottle makes for a beautiful presentation in your kitchen-sleek and stylish. The lid clamps down on contents with a tight-sealing gasket and a sleek chrome closure. The opening of the bottle is wide, providing easy access whether you're reaching with fingers for a few berries or a spoon for a scoopful.

A pink peppercorn is not truly a pepper, which are from trees of the genus Piper. It is a dried berry of the shrub Schinus terebinthifolius (the Brazilian pepper). The 'peppercorn' has a delicate blushing red paperweight husk gently encapsulating a tiny brown seed. Though the berry's husk has an insipid flavor, its seed carries very distinct aromas of pine and citrus with herbaceous, floral and lemon-like flavors.

Pink peppercorns can be used in a variety of recipes both savory and sweet. They can be used in aromatic curries. Their fruity sweetness plays well with aromatic galangal, garlic, and lemongrass, and their heat compliments chiles. Note that pink peppercorns lend foods a different kind of heat, closer to chiles than black pepper.
