Green Peppercorns – Piper nigrum

Green peppercorns are the unripe, gently dried fruits of the Piper nigrum vine, valued for their softer heat and vibrant, herbaceous aroma. Compared to black and white pepper, green peppercorns offer a milder, fresher flavor with subtle spice, making them a favorite in refined and modern cuisine. Traditionally appreciated in culinary and wellness traditions, they are naturally rich in aromatic compounds and commonly included in balanced, everyday diets.

Their taste is lightly spicy, fresh, and pleasantly warm, ideal for sauces, salad dressings, vegetable and meat dishes, soups, and garnishes. Green peppercorns can be added whole early in cooking and removed before serving, or gently crushed for a fuller aroma. They are commonly used in European and Asian cuisines and are carefully hand-packed in small batches in a kraft pouch to preserve freshness and natural fragrance. Use in typical culinary amounts only. Consult a healthcare professional if pregnant, nursing, or taking medication.
