GREEN PEPPERCORN SAUCE RECIPE

Peppercorns are a small fruit, the drupe (a fruit with one seed in the center) of a flowering vine called piper nigrum, which grows in hot climates. It's native to India and Southeast Asia. Some of the best peppercorns in the world come from Kerala on India's Malabar Coast.

Black pepper and peppercorns start as green peppercorns - a fruit from the piper nigrum plant. These brightly colored fruits come together in clusters similar to grapes but are usually only eaten when fully ripe. When boiled or fried before being dried in the sun, these peppers' skin becomes dark brown and wrinkled.

Green peppercorns are the species harvested at the degree of ripeness. However, unlike black pepper, cooked after harvesting to make it edible - green peppercorns aren't cooked but instead treated with different substances or preservatives such as sulfur dioxide, which retards the enzyme responsible for making them dark in color. While this process does preserve them, it also means they're more prone to spoilage than black pepper.

Green peppercorns are stored in salt water or vinegar, which preserves them for a longer time. They are a riper and softer version of the typical pepper berry with a lighter flavor than those from dry conditions.
