Green peppercorns are from piper nigrum, the same plant as black peppercorns. Picked at the same stage of ripeness, the only difference is that green peppercorns are not left out to dry completely and darken. This results in a less intense flavor than black pepper and a milder aroma and taste. Immediately after being picked, green peppercorns are generally placed in brine in order to preserve their softness and prevent them from drying and darkening. One timeless favorite steakhouse recipe adds soft green peppercorns to a simple beef broth and cognac sauce, and served over filet mignon grilled to perfection.
