Suggested Uses

- Excellent as part of a rub for meat, poultry or seafood

- Whole peppercorns can be tied in a cheesecloth bag and dropped into simmer stocks, soups or stews toward the end of cooking to add flavor
Description
- Green peppercorns come from the common pepper plant (Piper nigrum), a flowering tropical plant that produces tiny berries.
- These can be harvested and processed at various stages of their maturity to achieve different flavors and colors.
- Green peppercorns are harvested long before they reach maturity, and as a result have a light, aromatic, fresh flavor.
- Pink peppercorns are, in fact, not true peppercorns at all, but the dried berries of an unrelated plant that grows in South America.
- The plant produces tiny, aromatic, rose-hued berries that have delicate, slightly floral undertones to their peppery flavor.
- This colorful blend brings together two lighter-tasting peppercorns, both of which have herbal and fruity undertones, ideal for seasoning poultry, fish and pork.
- Peppercorns have far-reaching cultural and historical significance.
