Green
peppercorns have a pleasant delectable quality that has made this a
sought after gourmet pepper. The process of producing these Green
Peppercorns begins with the picking of the immature green fruits from
the same vine that produces the popular black peppercorn. These
unripened peppercorns are then placed in boiling water, treated with a
potassium sulphite, and then they are either dehydrated or frozen. The
sulfite is an oxidase inhibitor that prevents the blackening from
oxidation that is normally catalyzed by that enzyme. The ensuing
result is that these Green peppercorns are milder in flavor and bite
than the more common black peppercorns.
We also carry a deep selection of peppercorns that you might also be interested in – Malabar Black Peppercorns, Tellicherry Peppercorns, White Peppercorns, Pink Peppercorns and Sichuan Peppercorns. For those that like a bit more variety you might also be interested in our Gourmet Peppercorn Mixer.
As
with all of our peppercorns it is best to store these in a cool, dark
place as they will keep their flavor for 1-2 years (unlike ground
pepper which tends to begin to lose its flavor after about 4 months).
So if you don’t already have a peppermill get one and grind your own as
freshly ground pepper provides a more robust flavorful experience than
ground pepper.
Good with chicken, eggs, fish, pork, salads,
soup, strawberries and tomatoes. Here are some of our favorite recipes
using green peppercorns - Green Peppercorn Mustard, Green Peppercorn Steak and Green Peppercorn Sauce.
