Triple Treat Pepper Mix 75g

WHITE PEPPERCORNS are the fully-ripened berries of the same vine as black pepper (Piper nigrum) that have been soaked, fermented, and had their dark outer skin removed to reveal the inner seed. They are milder, earthier, and have a funkier, slightly fermented aroma compared to black pepper. White pepper is commonly used in light-colored sauces, mashed potatoes, and Asian cuisines to add heat without visible black specks.
Flavor Profile: Hotter and more direct on the palate than black pepper, with a cleaner, earthier, and sometimes "musty" or "fermented"
BLACK PEPPERCORNS is the dried, unripe, small fruit berry of the Piper nigrum vine, a flowering plant native to India. These berries are picked while green, often blanched in hot water to clean them, and then sun-dried until they shrivel and turn black, concentrating the compound piperine, which provides their pungent aroma and flavor.
Flavor Profile: Sharp, woody, and biting with a hint of warmth rather than chili heat.
RED PEPPERCORNS are rare, fully matured berries from the Piper nigrum vine, offering a sweet, bright, and mildly spicy flavor compared to black pepper. Unlike underripe green or black peppercorns, these are picked when deep red and shade-dried to preserve their aroma and color. They are often used to complement delicate dishes like poultry, seafood, and sauces.
Flavor Profile: Sweet, citrusy, and fruity with a mild heat.
