GreenLeaf Tellicherry Black Peppercorns / Extra Bold Whole Peppercorns / Pantry Size 5 oz Plastic Jar

Black pepper is used as a spice in nearly all the world’s cuisines as a pungent, spicy, heating agent for food due to the presence of capsaicin and piperine. Teasings of citrus and wood also add to black pepper’s allure. Tellicherry peppercorns have been left on the vine to ripen considerably. The result is a large, bloated peppercorn with a more distinguished flavor. The aroma is far more pungent and woodsy, with citrus notes that have a more pronounced Navel orange origin. This variety of peppercorn can be added whole, crushed, or ground to any recipe that requires black or green peppercorns. Commonly used to make marinades, salad dressings and sauces. Our Tellicherry Peppercorns are sourced directly from India and packed in the USA! for extra freshness and safety.
