ruusupippuri

/ROO-soo-PEE-poo-ree/
[Finnish] plural ruusupippuria

Pink pepper. This may either be the familiar rose-coloured peppercorn of Piper nigrum, usually preserved in brine or vinegar. It may also refer to the dried berry of a Brazilian plant related to poison ivy. This contains cardanol, which is an irritant to many people and it makes little contribution to cooking anyway.
