Information
Green pepper is the superior and fresh secret behind many of the most classic continental dishes. These are simply unripe peppercorns that have been dried incredibly fast to preserve both the vibrant green color and the floral, fresh taste. While traditional black pepper feels sharp and rough, green pepper is far milder, much more fruity, and offers wonderfully distinct notes of herbs and citrus. This is the one spice you absolutely must have in your pantry if you are going to make a true steak au poivre or a velvety smooth pepper sauce flambeed with cognac.

The elegant flavor profile makes green pepper incredibly versatile. Beyond the obvious creamy sauces, it is a brilliant companion to dark game meat and homemade pates, as the acidity perfectly lifts the heavy flavors. In Asian kitchens, especially in robust Thai curries, these whole peppercorns are an absolutely crucial ingredient for achieving the authentic and fresh taste.
Dried green pepper can feel hard. To get the fantastic soft, popping texture you know from restaurant visits, you should soak the peppercorns in a little warm water, meat stock, or good cognac for about 30 minutes before adding them to your sauce. Then they swell up and become silky tender enough to be eaten whole!

FAQ Frequently Asked Questions
Are green peppercorns hot?
Green pepper is significantly milder than regular black pepper. It does not burn the tongue at all in the same way, but instead provides a very fresh, inviting, and aromatic warmth.
Do the peppercorns need to be crushed before use?
In sauces, it is quite common to leave them whole and preferably soaked first, but you can also crush them coarsely in a mortar to release more of the oils. If you are going to rub them into a fresh steak, they should always be coarsely crushed beforehand.
What is the difference between this dried type and the small jars with liquid from the store?
The ones you buy in jars sit in a brine with salt and a lot of vinegar. This brine significantly alters the flavor profile of the spice and adds a lot of unwanted acidity to your food. Our dried peppercorns give you a one hundred percent pure and unadulterated pepper flavor, and you gain full control over the acid balance when cooking your sauce.
