Grapefruit Pepper

Description

In a very remote region – at the foot of the Himalayas, in Nepal – grows one of the world’s rarest spices: grapefruit mountain pepper. These are essentially wild shrubs that can reach up to five meters tall. A lot of effort goes into harvesting these unusually aromatic peppercorns.

After harvesting, the grapefruit berries are carefully dried until they can be called peppercorns. These peppercorns boast a distinct aroma of grapefruit, lime, lemon balm, and pomelo, with a noticeable bitterness. Combined with other spices, they create a unique flavor bouquet.

These grapefruit peppercorns are best and most delicious when freshly ground and added at the end of cooking. They pair exceptionally well with poultry, fish, various seafood, desserts – fruits, curd creams, various confectionery treats, as well as hot and cold beverages.
