Grapefruit mountain pepper | entire

In a very remote region at the foot of the Himalayas grows one of the rarest spices in the world, the grapefruit mountain pepper. The bushes, which can grow up to 5 meters high, grow wild and are laboriously harvested by a peasant cooperative. After harvesting, the collected berries are dried in special drying houses. Botanists disagree as to whether grapefruit mountain pepper belongs to the laurel family or the rue family. The pepper combines unique aromas of grapefruit, lime, lemon balm and pomelo with subtle to mild pungency and subtle bitter notes. Combined with other peppers, it creates a unique blend of spices. The mountain pepper should always be freshly ground or mortared. It is also recommended to add the pepper to the food only at the end of the preparation. Taste: Intense lemony, with aromas of grapefruit and lemon balm, mild spiciness. Dishes: Fish, poultry, seafood, desserts, fruits, cakes & pastries, seasoning blends.
