At full maturity (9 months), the fruits are adorned with a shimmering red color, this is red pepper (red pepper should not be confused with pink pepper, improperly baptized because it does not belong to the botanical family Piperaceae).
The whole grain of the Piper Nigrum pepper plant when it reaches full maturity reveals a spicy taste on the finish, full and intense.
More
sophisticated than black pepper, the whole grain has a note of sweetness, caramel, freshly baked cookies, nutmeg and juniper.
It is a bewitching pepper, of rare elegance with notes of hot bread and pastry, citrus fruits, spices and pineapple.
It is especially cooked with white meats or vegetables. It is also recommended on sweet dishes, apple pie, vanilla ice cream or on a melon... a very surprising treat with its notes of candied fruit.
It brings a rare and powerful aroma to a multitude of simple and elaborate dishes. He can be considered a lord of gastronomy!
It can perfectly replace black pepper.
