In comparison to black peppercorns, green peppercorns have a very fresh flavor with slightly fruity undertones and almost no astringency. Green pepper comes from the same variety of plant as traditional black pepper, but the fruit is picked when it's unripened to capture its distinct taste. With a gorgeous bright green hue, freshly cracking these peppercorns adds an unexpected, desirable pop of color and taste. Its color looks especially great when stored in clear acrylic peppermills, which can show off this peppercorn's vibrant appearance on your tabletops.
