Don't toss/compost your homegrown . them because they're food. They can be used as herbs substitute if you don't have basil or mints. They can be cooked & eaten. They're nutritious, so start eating your pepper leaves!

Mom had told me that in her matriarch village, our relations grew & harvested & for many generations. It's used in many different Asian cultures as both food & medicine.

@PhoenixSerenity We have a different kind of pepper tree around here - long thin leaves (and red peppercorns that I eat directly from the tree.)

@CasualPiDay The California red peppercorns are quite tasty. They are not very hot. The hard part is rubbing the paper-like sheath off of the pepper corns.

I have heard that some people have allergies to these red peppercorns, but I've never actually seen a case.

We keep one pepper grinder with Indian black pepper corns and another with the California red ones.
