This is a really delicious product, I just found the grinder not helpful for these peppercorns. Pink peppercorns are softer than regular peppercorns, so to grind them I found you either need a stronger grinder, or you just need to use the whole peppercorns and smoosh them with your hands. The actual peppercorns are great.
First time I have had pink peppercorn so I can't compare it but it tastes and smells great and I love Frontier Co-op spices in general. looking forward to experimenting with this new flavor!
The quality of the peppers is good - very fragrant and fresh. Though, I could have gotten myself just the spice without the grinder, because it barely does anything. It's way faster to grind it in a mortar & pestle. Luckily, you can easily unscrew the grinder cap. (Only 3 stars because the whole purpose of the packaging is irrelevant)
I like freshly ground pepper-really I do. And I like Frontier products. These peppercorns however don't work so well. They are slightly softer than normal peppercorns so they just don't grind as well in this grinder. It was just a bit frustrating each time I reached for it. Good taste though.
The pepper is quite soft so takes a lot of grinding to get product out. A very mild pepper so need a lot more if you want any heat.
Like everyone else, the packaging design is quite useless. It does not really get much of the peppercorns out. The peppercorns on the other hand, smell absolutely divine. I love it!
It is really a wonderful spice and peps up many food items. The problem is the grinder does not work in any position. Had to transfer to another grinder which was a pain.
Pink peppercorns are quite different from true pepper, but wonderful in their own right. However the grinder they come in is totally ineffective. I ended up using them whole for a burst of flavor in a range of dishes, or grinding them in a coffee grinder as needed. Five stars is only for the peppercorns themselves; the container would get a one.
the grinder is a bit pointless but product is good
I had pink peppercorns on a chocolate bar once and was instantly hooked. These did not disappoint!
