Botanical Name: Piper nigrum
Country of Origin: India
English Name: Green Peppercorns
French Name: Poivre Vert
Also Known As: Green Pepper Berries
Part Used: Unripe dried berries of Piper nigrum
Description: Green Peppercorns are produced from the unripe berries of Piper nigrum, a tropical climbing vine native to southern India and widely cultivated in warm regions around the world. The plant grows as a woody vine supported by trees or trellises, producing elongated clusters of small round berries. For green peppercorns, the berries are harvested while still immature and green, preserving their fresh appearance and distinctive character.
After harvesting, the berries are carefully cleaned and dried using controlled air or low-temperature methods to maintain their natural green to olive tone and round shape. This drying process stabilizes the peppercorns while retaining their botanical identity. The finished peppercorns are small, firm, and whole, with a slightly wrinkled surface and consistent size.
Green Peppercorns display a muted green to olive colour and a compact, spherical form. Their whole-berry format allows for easy handling and accurate portioning, making them suitable for a variety of culinary and formulation uses.
Uses: Green Peppercorns are widely used in culinary applications, including sauces, marinades, soups, spice blends, and savoury dishes. They are also suitable for infused oils, seasoning mixes, pickling preparations, and educational collections demonstrating spice berry morphology. The whole format supports grinding, crushing, or direct use in recipes, allowing for flexible preparation in both home kitchens and professional food environments while offering consistent quality and visually identifiable pepper berries.
Storage: Store in a cool, dry place in a sealed container.
