Organic Green Peppercorns
Our organic green peppercorns are grown in the mist shrouded tropical hill forests of India, bordering the Arabian Sea Coast. This unique micro-climate has created a truly unique peppercorn, prized for its fresh aromas of Lemongrass and Bergamot, balanced with a deep, spicy warmth.
Rarely found beyond the finest tables of Europe and Asia, these peppercorns are gently steamed clean immediately after harvest, and freeze dried, which retains their essential aromatic oils and true flavors. They differ greatly from dehydrated peppercorns which have a shriveled outer skin. Their plump smoothness and large size match their incredibly rich flavor, making them the preferred peppercorn for discerning chefs around the world.

How to Use and Store

Serving Suggestions
Elegantly season your favorite dishes, pastas, sauces, grills, and hearty fare. In Japanese cooking, I've found that I prefer the organic green peppercorns generously ground on pan-fried udon or soba noodled with tofu, garlic, and scallions, served steaming hot. For soups, this is a delicate peppercorn that adds just the right amount of warmth, aroma, and flavor, combining well with other spices.
For a stunning vegetable broth, simmer and strain finely chopped carrot, cabbage, onion, and buttercup squash, season with HimalaSalt and finely ground Organic Green Peppercorns, garnished with thinly sliced scallions and a carrot flower.
Serve a beautiful appetizer to friends and family - grind the green and pink peppercorns together on a plate, roll tofu, soft cheese, or marinated vegetables in the peppercorn blend, then place on a garlic crostini garnished with fresh organic basil. I also love peppercorns with chocolate and fruit, my favorite combination is green peppercorns ground on fresh mango - delicious! Or green peppercorn ground on fresh green mango salad. For the freshest, simplest salad dressing, blend organic olive oil, HimalaSalt, finely chopped fresh organic garlic, and my organic green peppercorns finely ground to taste. Visit Our SHOP!
