About Brazilian pepper fruit
Brazilian pepper fruit, commonly sold as pink peppercorn, is a small, round, pink to reddish fruit with a thin, papery outer skin. It has a sweet, resinous, aromatic flavour with mild pepper-like pungency, rather than the sharp heat associated with black pepper.
The dried fruits are used whole or crushed as a seasoning and are also sold in mixed peppercorn products. Fresh and dried forms differ in moisture and texture, and a peppercorn blend may include other spices, so it should not be treated as identical to plain Brazilian pepper fruit.
