pink peppercorn
Blush-colored dried berry
Pink peppercorns are small dried berries with a rosy hue and mild, slightly sweet flavor.
Despite the name, they're not true peppercorns but come from a South American tree related to cashews.
They appear in peppercorn blends for color contrast and add a fruity, less pungent heat than black pepper: The salmon was crusted with pink peppercorns.
