Badia Whole Pink Peppercorn, 9 oz

Badia Whole Pink Peppercorns are the dried berries of the Brazilian pepper tree — not true pepper, but a rose-colored, brittle berry with a sweet, piney, faintly resinous heat. The 9 oz jar runs $3.20 per ounce.

Common Uses

Crack over seared duck breast, salmon gravlax, or beef carpaccio. Grind into French steak au poivre with green and black peppercorns for color and floral lift. Sprinkle whole over goat cheese, burrata, or strawberry salads. Crush into vinaigrettes for citrus and beet salads, or infuse into gin cocktails and pickling brines.

Cuisine Context

A signature of modern French cuisine and Mediterranean plating — the pop of color on a white plate, and the sweet-spicy counterpoint to rich proteins and fresh cheese. The classic three-color peppercorn finish on steak frites depends on this berry.

Pro Tip

Crush gently with the flat of a knife rather than grinding. Pink peppercorns are hollow and brittle — full pressure pulverizes them into dust and loses both the pop and the floral aroma you paid for.
