    I bought white peppercorns from a whole foods store here in Australia about 2 years ago. It was recommended by a chef on UA-cam. I opened the bay where the peppercorns were and I was almost knocked over by the extreme smell of them. I used them over my meals for a few days but I found them much hotter in taste than the black pepper corns so I added them to those and slowly I have become accustomed to the white pepper's scent and taste. Somehow they remind me of the little pepper shakers in my grandmother's cafe way back when I was a small child in Sydney. BTW pepper aids in digestion and absorption of some foods and turmeric is one.

      Good to hear! The ground variety I get here in the U.S. is quite mild. Perhaps time strengthened yours, or they are just more flavorful by nature. Glad you are able to use them, though. Cheers!

    I've always preferred black pepper.
    I'm not bothered too much about the appearance of it, it never bothers me, and I prefer the flavor.
    Never knew that black and white came from the same plant. I was happy to learn that.

    despite being native to indonesia, black pepper are a lot less popular here especially for our traditional cookings.
    we mostly use the white one because of the district smell and taste

    Hello. What's the difference between
    red and green pepper? And what foods do they go with?

    • @IWantToCook
      @IWantToCook  2 роки тому

      If you are referring to peppers such as chiles, red peppers are usually more ripe -- such as with red bell peppers and red jalapenos, and they will each have their own distinct flavor. I use chile peppers in a vast variety of recipes. If you mean peppercorns, green peppercorns are often found in a brine and can be used like capers. Pink peppercorns are kind of their own thing. They are more rare but can be crushed or ground and used like black peppercorns. Hope that helps!

    • @IWantToCook
      @IWantToCook  11 місяців тому +1

      Great question. Short answer is, any way you'd like to. They are great as seasoning in more delicate dishes, like fish, butter sauces, and even some desserts. Pink peppercorns are not as harsh tasting as black peppercorns, so they are ideal when you want something a bit more subtle, yet still have that peppery goodness.
