Green Peppercorns

GREEN PEPPERCORNS
Green peppercorns are the mildest of the peppers. Saratoga Salsa & Spice Company’s peppercorns come from France, where the freeze-dried process preserves the original flavor and the clear green color.

Green peppercorns are useful not only for color but also for the mellowness that is preferable in dishes such as steak au-poivre or with mild flavored fish. Green peppercorns seem to have an affinity for fruit and I use them in salad dressings made with raspberry vinegar and, on occasion, as the secret ingredient in sorbets.
