This blend of Black, White, Green, and Pink Peppercorns creates a visually fascinating, aromatic, and flavorful addition to your favorite dish.
Black, white, and green peppercorns are all composed of the fruit of the Piper nigrum plant, differing only by their methods of preparation. In their natural state, peppercorns hang off the plant in drupes, beginning green and eventually ripening to red. The unripe green peppercorns are picked and freeze-dried to preserve the color and flavor. Black peppercorns are also made from the unripe fruit, but instead of being frozen, they are dried, attaining the black color and characteristic piquant flavor. To make white peppercorns, the fruit is allowed to ripen on the vine, then picked and treated in water to begin the retting process. During this period, the red flesh deteriorates and pulls off the peppercorn, revealing the white center. These centers are then dried to complete the process of creating white peppercorns. Pink peppercorns are unrelated to the Piper nigrum plant and are the fruit of the Brazilian Schinus terebinthifolius. The fruits are sweeter than those of other peppercorns but are similarly piquant, with a lighter, somewhat fruitier flavor.
Rainbow peppercorns offer a colorful way to enjoy the culinary properties of black, white, green, and pink peppercorns, adding both heat and flavor to a dish.
Pepper 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.
