This lovely spice actually masquerades as a member of the peppercorn family, it’s actually the ripe berries of the Peruvian (schinus molle) and Brazilian (schinus terebinthifolius) pepper trees, however, they do have a peppery flavour. They are actually a member of the cashew family, which means anyone with a cashew allergy would be best advised to avoid them. Pink peppercorns have a similar flavour to black peppercorns but are milder, some say slightly sweet and quite fruity. So they are great for adding a slightly different peppery element to a dish.
