Gin Pepper

Gin pepper, comes from a plant native to Southeast Asia and commonly used for its essential oil. The plant produces small, yellow, lemon-scented fruit, which are dried and then used as a spice.

The essential oil of Gin pepper is used in aromatherapy and in the perfume and cosmetic industries due to its fresh, lemon-like scent. It is also used in traditional Chinese medicine for its antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory properties.

In culinary use, Gin pepper is used as a natural flavor enhancer in some dishes, particularly in Southeast Asian cuisine. It can be used to add a bright, citrusy flavor to sauces, marinades, and stir-fries, and is also used as a substitute for lemon or lime zest.
