Product Description
Black pepper can be obtained by picking the berries shortly before they reach full maturity, and drying them until they attain their characteristic dark brown color and wrinkled appearance.
White pepper berries should be harvested later, when they are fully ripe and have turned orange. They need to be soaked in water to soften them so that the seed can be separated from the skin. The light-colored seeds are then dried in the sun and sold as white pepper.
Green peppercorns are made from unripe, fresh, peeled berries, which are placed in a salty or acidic solution. Green peppercorns are only mildly spicy, they rather have a fresh, spicy, "green" flavor. Similarly, fully ripe berries can be used to make red peppercorns.
