What Is Pepperberry and Why Use It in Pasta Sauce?

Pepperberry is an Australian native spice that delivers unique flavours. It has a fruity, earthy taste with a spicy kick. Unlike traditional black pepper, pepperberry has a milder heat that builds on the palate, making it ideal for sauces.

When used in a pasta sauce, it enhances the flavours of tomatoes, garlic, and other herbs, creating a depth that’s both surprising and delicious. Plus, it’s packed with antioxidants, making it a nutritious choice.
