Pepper tree berries edit

Does anyone know if the berries from the pepper tree can be eaten? After all they do smell like pepper if crushed. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 125.237.201.127 (talk) 20:43, 26 July 2009 (UTC)Reply

@125.237.201.127 They are used as the spice "pink peppercorn". However, their potential toxicity needs further study. yoyo (talk) 23:37, 3 September 2023 (UTC)Reply
