Green Peppercorns in brine 115g
Login to see pricesGreen peppercorns in brine are young, unripened berries from the Piper nigrum plant, preserved in a salty water solution to maintain their fresh, vibrant flavor and firm texture. These peppercorns are harvested while still green, before they fully mature, which gives them a milder, more vegetal flavour compared to their black or white counterparts. The brining process softens the peppercorns slightly, making them easier to chew and releasing their delicate, slightly tangy, and mildly spicy taste with subtle herbal undertones.
Green peppercorns in brine are often used in cooking to add a burst of fresh, peppery flavor without the intense heat of other pepper varieties. They are particularly popular in creamy sauces, such as those served with steak (like steak au poivre), as well as in salads, stir-fries, and seafood dishes. Their bright green color and unique flavor make them an attractive and flavourful addition to a variety of culinary creations.
