The pepper­corn-sized fruits have a bright pink colour and consist of up to 10% essential oils, particularly known for their antibacterial properties. Pink peppercorns have been used in Madagascar since ancient times as an anti-inflammatory agent, supporting the treatment of bronchitis.

Interestingly, Pink Pepper is unrelated to true pepper (Piper), as it belongs to a different botanical genus.

This tree is planted in Madagascar by our partner TsiryParma.
