Brazilian pepper tree (Schinus Terebinthifolius)

The Brazilian pepper tree (Schinus Terebinthifolius) is a perennial evergreen plant growing up to 10 metres tall. It is also known as Pink peppercorn, pink pepper, wilelaiki or Christmasberry tree. This species is native to tropical and subtropical regions of South America, especially Brazil, Paraguay and Argentina. The pink peppercorn is not a proper pepper, but the fruit of the Brazilian pepper tree. It has a slightly sweet taste with hints of strawberries and sweet paprika. Brazilian peppercorns are smaller than black peppercorns and are light pink to red in colour.

Pink pepper is mainly used in gastronomy, where it is used to flavour food and drinks. It is a great addition to various kinds of sauces, soups, marinades, but also to desserts. Its mild and sweet taste makes it suitable for cocktails or chocolate dishes, for example. In some regions it is also used as a substitute for real pepper. In addition to gastronomy, it is also found in the pharmaceutical industry, where it is used for its anti-inflammatory and analgesic properties. In Hawaii, it owes its attractive branches and fruits are also used as decorations during holidays.
