Benefits of pink pepper
A victim of marketing - some might say. In the early days, it promised an exotic and very rare miracle from Madagascar that would ensure almost eternal life. Unfortunately, the reality is different, and despite its proven benefits, pink pepper cannot shake the label of a fraud.
It is hard to say why there was so much misinformation. Pink pepper has nothing to be ashamed of. Its homeland is the rather exotic meadows and groves of Peru and Brazil. The tree on which the tiny balls grow is not rare either. The occurrence of the pepper tree, a tall and splendid tree, is quite common in that area. It is also planted as an ornamental tree in parks. Last (but not least), it cannot guarantee almost eternal life, but it has stood up to the scrutiny of medical research and, if consumed in reasonable quantities, can be more than beneficial to us.
A single tree can produce around 200 kg of pink berries per year. These berries are then dried and are very popular in many aspects of South American gastronomy. Because of their spicy, slightly chilli-like flavour, they are often added to many beverages. They are popular as a component of the special Wari tribe beer or Chilean wines. They can also be found in various tea blends, where they lend a peppery undertone. As already indicated, be careful with the amount consumed. Increased doses can cause diarrhoea and allergic reactions. Pink pepper should be avoided by pregnant and breastfeeding women and young children.
