How do you pick peppercorns off a pepper tree?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

"Although it is not a true pepper (Piper), its dried berries are often sold as pink peppercorns. The seeds can be used as a spice, if used in moderation, adding a pepper-like taste to food. They are usually sold in a dry state and have a bright pink color. They are less often sold pickled in brine, where they have a dull, almost green hue." So basically, you pick the peppercorns off the tree and let them sit out until they shrivel up and then they can be ground just like black pepper.

P.S. "Be careful though, Brazilian pepper has aromatic sap that can cause skin reactions (similar to poison-ivy burns) in some sensitive people."

It should be noted that pickled pink peppercorns can be either from the pepper tree OR they can be true peppercorns. Peppercorns that have been allowed to fully ripen are also pink in hue, but they are so fragile that you usually only find them pickled or brined. These will have a very different flavor than pink peppercorns from a pepper tree (Pepper trees are either the Peruvian Schinus molle or its cousin, Schinus terebinthifolius).

Can a convicted felon carry pepper spray in Oregon?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Yes.

Under ORS 166.270

"Possession of weapons by restricted persons:

Any person who has been convicted of a felony under the law of this state or any other state, or who has been convicted of a felony under the laws of the Government of the United States, who owns or has in the persons possession or under the persons custody or control any instrument or weapon having a blade that projects or swings into position by force of a spring or by centrifugal force or any blackjack, slungshot, sandclub, sandbag, sap glove, metal knuckles or an Electro-Muscular Disruption Technology device as defined in ORS 165.540 (Obtaining contents of communications), or who carries a dirk, dagger or stiletto, commits the crime of felon in possession of a restricted weapon."

I see no definition to include sprays, irritants, peppers, chemical agents etc. A sword or crossbow also appears to be legal. Concealable weapons that can cause death or permanent injury seem to be the main concern.

The two hottest peppers that are American are probably Cayenne and Piquin. Although all types are grown and imported here now, so it depends on how long they need to have been in America to be "American", perhaps.

Why does pepper jack turn red?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

For the same reason tomatoes and cherries do - that is their natural color. What we call "green pepper" in cooking is a pepper picked before it ripens fully, thereby having a slightly more pungent flavor. Any green pepper will turn red if allowed to mature fully on the vine. The red pepper is sweeter and milder tasting than the earlier green stage.

What is the least hottest pepper in the world?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

The least hottest spice is generally considered to be bay leaf. Bay leaves are not spicy at all but they do have a slightly bitter and woody flavor. Other mild spices include:

  • Celery seed
  • Nutmeg
  • Coriander
  • Thyme
  • Sage
  • Oregano

Mild spices are great for adding flavor to dishes without adding too much heat. They can be used to add depth of flavor to soups stews and sauces. They are also great for adding flavor to grilled or roasted vegetables.

The different colors of capsicum peppers result from different types of peppers, different stages of ripeness, and different methods of preserving, whether fresh, pickled, dried or smoked. Capsicum peppers can be green, red, orange, yellow, purple or black.
