Also known as Tasmanian Pepper or Tasmanian Pepperberry. This is not a true peppercorn, but a berry from the rainforest shrub tasmannia lancelota. Berries have a hot crunchy seed cluster at the center. They have a sweet, fruity spice with sharp heat, reminiscent of black pepper. Powerful, yet floral, berries have a pink/purple hue on the interior which distributes when ground. A sweetness first, then lots of heat, these berries have a big flavor. Expect from Australian Mountain Pepper distinctly different sweet and spicy flavors in addition to traditional characteristics of a classic black pepper. Use this powerful pepper on a variety of meats, roasted vegetables, in salad dressings or in marinades.
Both the peppercorns and leaves of the Australian Mountain Pepper plant are known for their inherent antimicrobial properties.
