I've been making my own vanilla extract for over a decade and used to buy my beans based on reviews at a Infamous Global seller. Was never sure what I would get. Then I found this company! The beans were beautiful! Fragrant, moist but not too moist, easy to cut open to expose the seeds and each Bean was six to seven inches long. I'm a happy extract maker! 💝💃🥳

Whole Freeze-Dried Green Peppercorns for Soups, Sauces, and Dressings
Not your average peppercorns. Green peppercorns are the immature, unripe fruit of the Piper nigrum plant, the same plant that produces black peppercorns and white peppercorns. Because unripe green peppercorns decay quickly once harvested, they're typically preserved one of three ways: brined, dried, or freeze-dried. Ours are freeze-dried, which retains a fresher, more concentrated, and more vibrant flavor than brined peppercorns, without the added sodium that comes with brine.
Our green peppercorns come directly from the Indian Ocean island of Sri Lanka, where some of the finest pepper in the world is grown, the same region behind our cloves and nutmeg.
What Makes Freeze-Dried Different
Characteristics and Uses
A Spice with Ancient Roots
Freeze-drying removes moisture from the peppercorns while preserving their delicate aromatic compounds, resulting in a smooth texture and vivid green color that brining can't replicate. Green peppercorns are naturally milder than black pepper, since pungency develops as the pepper ripens and green is picked unripe, but freeze-drying preserves more of that fresh, concentrated flavor than brine does, since brining leaches some flavor into the liquid. Freeze-dried peppercorns also have a significantly longer shelf life than brined ones: properly stored, ours will keep for 24-36 months, while brined peppercorns typically only last about two weeks once opened.

Peppercorns have been used in South Asian cooking for over 4,000 years, making them one of the oldest spices still in use today. Green peppercorns offer a glimpse into that tradition in its most natural form, picked and preserved close to the moment of harvest, before the plant has had time to fully ripen and develop the deeper flavor of black pepper. While black pepper became the dominant form traded along ancient spice routes, since its dried, shelf-stable form traveled far better, green peppercorns remained closer to how the fruit tastes fresh off the vine, a flavor experience that was historically difficult to preserve until modern drying and freeze-drying techniques made it possible to enjoy far from where it's grown.
How to Use Green Peppercorns in Cooking
Preguntas frecuentes
- Freeze-dried green peppercorns are dehydrated to remove moisture while preserving their aromatic compounds, resulting in a more concentrated, vibrant flavor and smooth texture. Brined peppercorns are preserved in a salt or vinegar solution, which adds sodium and can leach out some flavor into the liquid. Freeze-dried peppercorns also have a much longer shelf life, up to 2-3 years, compared to about two weeks once a jar of brined peppercorns is opened.
- No. Green peppercorns are harvested unripe, before the pungency associated with black pepper fully develops, so they have a milder, fresher, more herbal flavor than fully ripened black peppercorns.
- Not necessarily. Because they're naturally milder than black pepper, green peppercorns can often be used whole, simply crush them lightly with the back of a knife or a mortar and pestle to release their aroma before adding them to a dish.
- Green peppercorns work well in soups, sauces, dressings, and brines, and are a staple in Thai and Indian cuisine, pickling, and craft cocktails. They're also the star of classic French steak au poivre vert, a brandy-cream pan sauce, and make a flavorful garnish for deviled eggs or a charcuterie board.
- Store in an airtight container in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Properly stored, freeze-dried green peppercorns have a shelf life of 24-36 months.
- Like all peppercorns, green peppercorns get their pungency from piperine, the same compound responsible for black pepper's heat. Because green peppercorns are harvested before they fully ripen, they contain less developed pungency and taste noticeably milder.
