Green Peppercorns

Green peppercorns are unripe berries with a mild, light flavor. They are often canned in brine or freeze-dried in jars. They add a pleasant, light peppery flavor to sauces, pates and salad dressings.

Nutritional Values

Drain those packed in liquid and use either whole or mash them lightly before using.

Dry green peppercorns should be lightly crushed before using to help release flavor, unless otherwise stated in a recipe.

Although they have a certain tanginess, green peppercorns are less pungent than black or white peppercorns, and they are usually not as hard and are therefore easier to crack or grind.

As with all spices, Peppercorns should be stored in small airtight jars in a cool, dark place, as heat, moisture and sunlight will reduce their flavor.

Handy Tip

If your homemade mayonnaise separates, you can often fix it by whisking in a tablespoon of cold water. If that doesn't work, start with a new egg yolk in a bowl and gradually whisk in the broken mayonnaise. This simple hack can save your sauce and restore its creaminess.
