A small collection of different types of peppercorns provides fine cooks with just the right pepper flavors and colors to create perfect culinary creations. Peppercorns crusts, rubs, marinades, dressings, and sauces are just a few of the creative ways these unique flavors and colors can be utilized. Peppercorn sauces are a great way to present distinct and unique flavors to the pallet while providing a splash of brilliant colors. A rainbow of spicy flavors such as white, green, and pink can easily create an impressive dish. Green peppercorns are a lively green color with a sharp, fresh flavor.

Green peppercorns are also a good match with salad dressings and vegetables. Pink peppercorns are the rarest of the peppercorn varieties but provide an exquisitely unique flavor. These exotic peppercorns have a delicate, fragrant, sweet, and spicy flavor. Pink peppercorns also add a lovely dash of color to all kinds of cuisine. They go especially well in fruit sauces, vinaigrettes, and desserts. White peppercorns are preferred in much of the world because freshly ground white pepper doesn't leave dark, unappealing specks in food. It's white color is especially important in light colored sauces and foods such as mashed potatoes. Black peppercorns are the high quality equivalent of the stuff you used to get out of those little tin cans.

Whole peppercorns retain their flavor for several years as long as they remain un-ground. A blend of all these colors makes a beautiful and flavorful mix of pepper perfect for any pepper mill or stunning enough to place on display.
