Tasmanian Pepper Berries (also known as Mountain Pepper) are the dried fruit of the shrub, Tasmannia lanceolata which is part of the Winteraceae, a small family of shrubs from South East Asia and the Pacific Rim. The plant itself is mainly found on the Tasmanian Island, Australia; though it on the mainland in Victoria and New South Wales.
The shrub bears berries during March and May that are dark blue to black in colour. They are hand-picked and dried to produce pepperberries. These are black in colour and are a succulent hot berry with a crunchy seed cluster at their heart. When eaten alone, the berries have a sweet taste at the beginning, followed by short-lasting intense heat. The berries then deliver a strange sensation of numbness, similar to Szechwan peppercorns.
In Australia they are used as part of the growing trend for bush food where pepperberries are used to season emu burgers or kangaroo staks. The berries are also crushed and mixed in vegetable oil before being used to marinate meat. The berries are also used in flavored breads, pastas and pates, mustards and cheeses. In stews or sauces the pepperberries impart a vibrant red colour which can be very attractive.
Though largely known only in Australia Tasmanian Pepperberry is becoming available through a small number of on-line spice suppliers. If using employ a light hand as they are ten times as hot as ordinary black pepper.
