It has vine-like branches with small white flowers and small pinkish-red berries. It is native to tropical and sub-tropical climates like South America, the Caribbean, Africa, and many islands in the Pacific Ocean. It was introduced to Florida in the 1840’s and has since become classified as a pest by the Exotic Pest Plant Council (EPPC). The berries are not true peppercorns, but are most often used as an exotic pepper substitute, and they may be found blended in conjunction with other types of peppercorns in what is known as a Rainbow Pepper Blend. When eaten on their own, they have an almost tart taste with a slight sweet aftertaste.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe pink peppercorn can be used in the same fashion as any peppercorn, and it goes particularly well with vegetables, poultry, and fish. The whole dried berry, whether freeze-dried or packed in brine or water, is used. Those packed in brine or water usually have a dull green hue.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe sweet and spicy flavor has become a recent favorite of chefs all over the world. Its taste is often described as fruity, making it a wonderful complement for fruit sauces, vinaigrettes, and even desserts. It has also been used as an ingredient in some Chilean wines and as a flavoring in syrups. It should not be confused with its close relative, Schinus molle, which is poisonous.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNote: Taking too much pepper may upset the stomach.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePepper has strong protective qualities in Magic. It can be added to amulets to ward off the evil eye, and it can also be used in a personal amulet to free your thoughts from pettiness and envy. When ground down with salt and spread across the property, it keeps away evil.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eKeywords: Protection\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor educational purposes only.
