KOCKENS Rosépeppar gourmetglas - 20g

Despite its Swedish name, the rose pepper has no closer kinship with the genuine pepper - black, white and vegetable pepper. Instead, it is related to Mango, Pistagemandel and Cashewnöt. Rose pepper comes from two closely related trees, Brazilian pepper trees (Schinus Terebinthifolius) and Peruvian Pepper Tree (Schinus Molle). The trees are constantly green and the flowers are white. The peppercorns are from the beginning green and gradually they mature the color to pink, red or purple. The berries are sold dried and are sweet, aromatic and reminiscent of juniper in the taste. Did you know that in Europe, Rosé pepper sometimes called for "fake pepper" because it was a substitute for the expensive real pepper? Rose peppers have a wide range of use and fit well to both meat, fish and bird dishes and also to some desserts.
