Color & Form

Fascinating to learn how the color and taste of pepper are influenced by the time of harvest and processing:

Green pepper: The fresh all-rounder

Green pepper is harvested unripe and dried immediately. This means it retains its fresh, mild flavor, which is used in many dishes.

Black Pepper: The Intense Classic

The well-known black pepper comes from unripe, yellow to orange fruits. The intense aromas of the peel are preserved through gentle drying, which gives it its characteristic taste.

White Pepper: The Spicy Surprise

White pepper is made from fully ripe red fruits. After soaking in water, only the white kernel is dried. This process gives it a particularly sharp aroma that is appreciated in many cuisines.

Red Pepper: The Rare Delicacy

Red pepper is harvested when fully ripe and impresses with its strong, sweet profile. Due to the sensitivity of the ripe fruit, it is rarely available and is considered a special delicacy.

Conclusion: A variety to discover

The different harvest times and processing methods make each type of pepper unique. This fascinating variety invites you to explore the different flavors and experiment in the kitchen.
