Paradise peppercorns

Origin & Special Features

Paradise pepper, also known as "angel pepper" or "pink peppercorns," originates from tropical regions of South America and is harvested from various species of the Brazilian pepper tree (Schinus molle). The pink berries are characterized by their vibrant color and unique flavor, offering a subtle combination of sweet and peppery notes. Unlike traditional black pepper, paradise pepper has a less pungent yet intensely aromatic flavor.

Taste & Aroma

Paradise peppercorns offer a harmonious balance of sweet, fruity, and peppery flavors. The taste is reminiscent of a blend of pepper and delicate berry fruit, with a hint of citrus and a slightly tingling freshness. These peppercorns are not hot, but rather mild and aromatic, making them a wonderful addition to a variety of dishes. Their unique profile brings an exotic freshness and complexity not found in any other pepper variety.

Application

Paradise peppercorns are ideal for enhancing salads, fish dishes, poultry, or even fruit salads. They are excellent in marinades, sauces, and desserts, especially when combined with citrus-fresh flavors. Because they are not spicy, they can also be used as a decorative garnish or as an addition to soups and stews. Grind the peppercorns fresh to release their full flavor, or use them whole to create an intense yet delicate aroma in cooking.

Health benefits

Paradise peppercorns contain a variety of antioxidants that protect the body from free radicals. They are also believed to have anti-inflammatory properties, which can be helpful in promoting overall health and relieving digestive discomfort. Their high essential oil content helps boost metabolism and promote healthy digestion. Their sweet and fruity notes also make them a gentle yet effective option for a healthy diet.
