Tips for use: For use in the kitchen, we advise you to roast the berries for about 2 minutes in a pan to release their aromas. However, they are added to your dishes at the end of cooking. They complement all white meats, such as pork, lamb, as well as red meats, such as beef. Despite its spiciness, it is very versatile when used in moderation. This pepper will quickly become indispensable to your seafood, especially shellfish. If you like its taste, you can use it with chocolate and fruit, in your cakes, pies, salads and “crumble”.
