Peppercorns – 500g

Peppercorns, the dried fruit of the Piper nigrum plant, are one of the most commonly used spices in the world. They come in different varieties, such as black, white, green, and pink, each with its own unique flavor profile, but all share a sharp, pungent heat. Black peppercorns are the most widely used and have a strong, slightly spicy flavor that enhances both savory and sweet dishes. White peppercorns, which are made from ripe pepper berries with the outer skin removed, have a milder flavor, often used in lighter-colored dishes for aesthetic reasons. Green peppercorns, harvested before fully ripening, offer a fresher, milder taste, while pink peppercorns, which come from a different plant species, add a fruity and delicate flavor. In addition to their culinary uses, peppercorns have long been valued for their medicinal properties. They contain piperine, a compound known for its anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and digestive benefits. Peppercorns are also believed to stimulate the metabolism and support weight loss. Whether used for their robust flavor or health-promoting qualities, peppercorns are a staple in kitchens and natural remedies worldwide.
