Hirosaki Shimizumori Namba AOC pepper is big and elongated. It contains 1.7 even 1.8 times more sugar than other peppers. it is also rich in vitamin A, vitamin C and vitamin E.
It is very fragrant and mild, slightly spicy like an Espelette pepper and very tasty.
Umami rich, it pleasantly seasons all dishes.
You'll appreciate it with soup, noodles, pasta, panfried meat and vegetables, foies gras.
At Aomori, it is used to make ice cream and pastries.
It can also be used to flavour ganaches, macaroon cream…
Finely ground it's more subtle. There is more taste when is is not so finely ground.
