PEPPERS OR FAKE PEPPERS? WHAT'S THE DIFFERENCE?

Authentic Piper Peppers The world of spices is dominated by true Piper peppers, famous for their characteristic spiciness and their unifying component, piperine. These tropical vines rise and wrap around trees, offering clusters of berries that come in more than 600 varieties. Among these, only a handful find their place in the culinary art, thus deserving the prestigious name of pepper. Among the stars in this category are Kampot Pepper , Malabar Pepper , Penja Pepper , Karimunda Pepper , Madagascar Pepper , Phu Quoc Pepper , Long Pepper , Cubeb Pepper , and many more. 'others.

Other Peppers of the Zanthoxylum Family Beyond the Piper genus, other peppers mainly come from the Zanthoxylum botanical family. These trees, growing between 3 and 10 meters, produce berries reminiscent of small citrus fruits, a resemblance due to their belonging to the vast Rutaceae family, which also includes citrus fruits. This family offers us unique flavors such as Timur Pepper from Nepal, with notes of grapefruit, Sichuan Pepper , slightly lemony, Poivre des Cimes , with aromas of leather and mandarin, and Sansho Pepper , reminiscent of lemongrass.

Botanical Diversity of Peppers The world of peppers continues to expand with varied botanical families such as Pink Berry or Madagascar Pink Pepper (genus Schinus), Jamaican Pepper (genus Pimenta), Tasmanian Pepper (genus Lindera) , and Maniguette or Paradise Pepper (Aframomum melegueta), each bringing its exotic touch and taste nuances to the palette of spices.

SO WHY DO PEPPERS STING?

The Essence of Spicy: A Chemical Journey

Spicy, this sensation that awakens our taste buds, is orchestrated by a trio of chemical compounds present in the world of peppers.

Piperine: The undisputed star, piperine, is the iconic chemical compound of the Piper genus, including our beloved black pepper. It is she who infuses the fiery heat into the pepper, awakening the flavors and inflaming the senses.
Sanshools: Less known but just as intriguing, sanshools, notably alpha-hydroxy sanshool and alpha sanshool, are the artisans of Sichuan Pepper. These compounds provide subtle warmth and a unique spiciness, causing mild paresthesia, that signature numbing sensation that dances across the tongue and lips.
Gingerol: Finally, gingerol, ginger's chemical cousin, brings its peppery and spicy touch. It is particularly present in the Pink Bay of Madagascar, these pink grains which sprinkle our pepper mixtures and awaken our dishes with a gentle and enveloping heat.

These peppers, although diverse in their botany, share a symphony of flavors that enhances our dishes and caresses our palate with a delicate heat, far from the burning heat of pepper.
