Whole Pink peppercorns are not true peppercorns but the dried berries from the Baies rose plant. They are cultivated in Madagascar and imported via France. Pink peppercorns are pungent, slightly sweet and are odorless and it is only grinding that releases their delicate peppery flavor.
Seen most often in peppercorn blends, pink peppercorns are also delicious in light sauces and on delicate fish dishes.
