{"title":"False peppers","description":"\u003cp\u003eFalse peppers possess all the pungency of true peppers. They truly resemble real peppers; some are mild, fruity or spicy. Nevertheless, they come from a different plant than Piper Nigrum. In ancient times, \"the King of spices\" was a currency of exchange, long reserved for an elite. Aware of this potential and value, producers and merchants gave the name \"false peppers\" to pink berries, Sichuan berries, Timut berries and other spices, which also hold a certain appeal.\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"baies-de-jamaique","title":"Jamaican Allspice Berries","description":"\u003ch2\u003eJamaican berries\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis spice is commonly and incorrectly called \"Jamaican pepper\" or \"Jamaican chilli\", as it belongs to neither of these two families. It is more accurate to call it, as the English do, \"allspice\" or \"all spices\", since its aroma is reminiscent of the four main spices. It is also known as bay pepper, Mexican pepper or chilli, or Amomi.\u003cbr\u003eThis tree, native to tropical America in the Caribbean region, belongs to the botanical family Myrtaceae. It is mainly cultivated in Jamaica and in the tropical zones of America: Guatemala, Honduras, and Mexico.\u003cbr\u003eThis large tree, also called myrtle-pepper, which can reach 10 metres in height and can bear fruit for up to 100 years, is adorned with pretty white flowers from June to August, which turn into round berries the size of a pea and redden when ripe. Like pepper, the berries are harvested before they ripen and dried in the sun, giving them an elegant brown colour.\u003cbr\u003eSeveral attempts at cultivation outside the area of origin have proved unsuccessful. The English tried in India; the experiment was also attempted without success in Sri Lanka, Malaysia, and Australia. This tree grows wild in the Caribbean, Central America, and the northern part of South America.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis spice, brought to Europe for the first time by Christopher Columbus, was incorrectly named Jamaican pepper — partly out of botanical ignorance, but also for lucrative reasons, by passing it off as a \"precious spice\" and selling it at a high price.\u003cbr\u003eThe Mayas used it to embalm their dead. Today, it is widely used in Caribbean cooking with fish and in their delicious small black puddings.\u003cbr\u003e\"Jamaican pepper\" is used in pastry-making for certain biscuits, and is an ingredient in ketchup (which is a very old Chinese invention and can be of very high quality, when it is not the industrialised American product saturated with sugar and artificial flavourings that you are all unfortunately familiar with), as well as in Bénédictine and Chartreuse. This magnificent spice is relatively little known in our part of the world, which is a real shame, as it is rich in flavours.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOur perfect pairings\u003c\/strong\u003e: ideal in soups and stews, terrines, and marinades, it goes well with certain fish such as sardines, anchovies, mackerel, and particularly herring.
