Pink peppercorns are dried berries from the Schinus molle tree, which is native to South America.
 
Despite their name, pink peppercorns are not true peppercorns; they belong to a different botanical family.
 
These berries have a mild, sweet, and fruity flavor with a subtle peppery heat. They are often used as a spice to add color and a unique taste to dishes, including salads, sauces, and various savory or sweet recipes.
 
Pink peppercorns are known for their delicate texture and vibrant pink hue, making them a popular choice for both culinary and decorative purposes.
 
It's important to note that some people may be allergic to pink peppercorns, as they contain compounds that can trigger reactions in individuals sensitive to cashews or pistachios.
