Green peppercorns are the unripe fruits of the same tropical vine that table ground pepper comes from. In contrast to black peppercorn, green peppercorns have a milder, fresher flavor with less “bite” to the tongue.
Whole green peppercorns are commonly used in French cuisine, especially in sauces and in pickling brines.
Origin: India
Green peppercorns are the key ingredient in traditional peppercorn sauce. Use whole or cracked in cooking.
