Schinus molle, pink pepper, whole pink berries, from certified organic farming
Schinus berries come from an evergreen tree of the sumac family that grows in tropical and subtropical areas. The tree can grow up to 10 metres high and has pinnate, leathery leaves and small, yellowish-pink flowers in dense racemes. The reddish berries grow in panicle-like clusters.
In Ayurveda, Schinus berries, also known as Peruvian pepper, are valued for their warming properties. They are considered to balance the Vata and Kapha dosha.
Indications
Warming, aromatic, slightly spicy
