Green Peppercorns in Brine by La Caperelle 3.5 oz Pack of 2

Peppercorns have been highly valued throughout history. They were so rare in the past that they have even been used as currency. In the 15th century, european ships undertook expeditions for the main purpose of finding alternative trade routes to the far east in order to bring back the prized peppercorns. It is hard to imagine food today without this essential spice. Peppercorns are native to india and indonesia and are now cultivated in tropical regions around the world. This climbing tree is usually grown on other trees such as palm, betel, or mango because its cordlike stems need support. This tree bears grapelike clusters of fruit in its third year and continues to yield fruit for six to seven more years.
