Product Description
PURPOSE
WHAT IS IT?
Made from the unripe drupes that are used for black and white pepper, green peppercorns are immature when picked. Sulfur dioxide, freeze drying, pickling, or canning prepations are used in order to preserve the green color that otherwise oxidizes to brown.
EXPERIENCE
The flavor is remenicent of fresh pine with hints of resin and camphor. There are slight notes of hops, similar to those in a hoppy beer. The flavor isn’t as spicy as black pepper, nor as pungent, instead it’s bright and piquant.

THE BACKSTORY
Green peppercorns have a milder but more complex and fresh flavor than most other peppercorns. These little darlings of the pepper family are the only perishable peppercorn that needs to be freeze dried or pickled to survive transportation. They can be sliced or chopped, or eaten whole, something you might not try that with black pepper!
