Green Peppercorn

Description

Along with salt, pepper is one of the oldest and most used spices in the world. Green peppercorns are from the same plants as black, but are picked before fully ripe and are typically soaked in brine before drying. Their flavor is slightly crisper and more herbal than black pepper. As a result, they're preferred in lighter dishes: sauces, salads, dressings, pastas, etc.
