Green Peppercorns

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.
