What Are Black Peppercorns?
Black Peppercorns are simply the whole version of ground black pepper. The ability to keep them whole offers a very pungent and fresh peppercorn that adds bite and depth to the dishes it is used in. Additionally, Black Peppercorns offer a lingering aroma sure to make any bite of food that much more exciting.
How Black Peppercorns Can Be Used
For starters, there is the extremely fresh aspect of grinding your own pepper. This not only gives an incredible taste, but the peak amount of aroma available from this ingredient. There is also an elegance and delicate nature to finishing a salad, soup, steak or other meal with a crack of black pepper.
Another use for whole peppercorns is in brines and pickling liquid. Many chefs want the flavor of pepper, but not the small particulates to linger and hold on to the product in the liquid. It is very common to use the larger peppercorns for ease of removal.
Finally, they can be used tied in a sachet in soups and stocks to give the pepper flavor but not to leave behind any color or residue.
