Thesulfite is an oxidase inhibitor that prevents the blackening fromoxidation that is normally catalyzed by that enzyme. The ensuingresult is that these Green peppercorns are milder in flavor and bitethan the more common black peppercorns. We also carry a deep selection of peppercorns that you might also be interested in Black Peppercorns,Tellicherry Peppercorns, White Peppercorns,Pink Peppercorns and Sichuan Peppercorns.For those that like a bit more variety you might also be interested in our Gourmet Peppercorn Mixer.
