False Peppercorns
Les faux poivres possèdent tout le piquant des vrais poivres. Ils ressemblent véritablement aux vrais poivres ; d'aucuns sont doux, fruités ou relevés. Néanmoins ils sont issus d'une autre plante que le Piper Nigrum. Dans les temps anciens,"le Roi des épices" était une monnaie d'échange, longtemps réservé à une élite. Conscients de ce potentiel et de cette valeur, producteurs et marchands ont appelé les "faux poivres" les baies roses, baies de Sechuan, de Timut et autres épices, présentant elles-aussi un intérêt certain.
