Peppercorns, Whole Green
Pepper is produced in Southeast India. Ripe pepper is allowed to ferment and dry, producing black pepper. Dried unripe berries are green peppercorns. White pepper is black pepper that has been soaked, the black outer husks removed. Pepper is perhaps the most versatile spice available. It is used to flavor almost any meat or vegetable dish, and is even used in some dessert recipes! Green peppercorns are softer than black or white pepper and have a milder, less hot flavor. Green pepper is an attractive garnish and also popular in peppercorn blends.
