Green Peppercorn Whole
Whole Green Peppercorn (Piper nigrum) is harvested from the pepper plant before the berries fully ripen. Compared to black or white pepper, it offers a fresher, more herbal, and slightly fruity aroma. It is frequently used in specialty marinades, meat sauces, and gourmet cuisine.
At Tuna Spice, our green peppercorns are offered in bulk and processed using rapid drying or freeze-drying methods to preserve their natural form and aroma.
