PEPPER CORN

Pepper is pepper, right? It really isn’t. The most common pepper that you see is Black Pepper.

Black Peppercorns are black because they have been dried in the sun. This process gives them a slightly hot, full-bodied, sharp taste. Crushed Black Pepper can be sued on just about anything depending on your taste.

White Pepper is created when the outer skin of the pepper berry is removed before the drying process. White pepper is much more mild than black pepper. White pepper is usually used in lighter colored dishes where you want the kick of pepper, but you don’t want to see little black bits running around.

Pink Pepper is very uncommon, but you can find it in some specialty markets. Pink Pepper can be sold either in brine or dried out like Black or White pepper. They have a softer outer skin and a very light fruity flavor. Pink Pepper is ideal for Salad dressings.
