Description
Instead of being dried in the sun like black peppercorns, they are dehydrated quickly to preserve their color.
The flavor of green peppercorns is milder than that of black peppercorns, which are noticeably hotter.
This makes them great for avoiding the heat of black pepper, while still getting the flavor.
The green peppercorns’ flavor is also more complex than those of black or white peppercorns, with fruity notes that are not present in either of the other forms.
