About the Trinidad Pimento Pepper

The Trinidad Pimento ripens from light green to deep red or orange-red, growing over 3 inches long with a slender, fragrant profile. It has the appearance and aroma of a hot pepper but none of the capsaicin heat — making it uniquely versatile. It is irreplaceable in green seasoning, stews, soups, rice dishes, and marinades across Trinidad, Tobago, and throughout the Caribbean diaspora.

Culinary Uses

• Trinidad green seasoning (the essential Caribbean marinade base)
• Soups, stews, and pelau
• Stuffed peppers and rice dishes
• Salsas, sauces, and chutneys
• Marinades for chicken, fish, and goat
