My husband, Chad, thought this title was a good one since I'm going to blog today about peppercorns..

RARE Ecuadorian Black Organic Peppercorns are HOT.

We just discovered this pepper is largely unknown to the average chef. This is a pepper grown in small quantities in Ecuador and certified as organic. It has a robust flavor and pungent aroma that will likely surpass anything you have experienced before. There are those who have tried this and will use no other. This is the boldest flavored black pepper we know of. Generally speaking, the closer a crop grows to the equator, the hotter its flavor. This is hot but dissapates very quickly leaving only a wonderful flavor.

Szechwan/Sichuan Peppercorns

are reddish brown berries with a unique woodsy fragrance and pleasantly numbing tang. To give distinctive Chinese flavor to your favorite recipes stick with szechuan peppercorns. The cuisine of western China relies a great deal on Szechwan/Sichuan peppercorn as well as Chinese Five-spice powder which we also carry. Get the most out of these peppercorns by toasting a handful of them in a dry frying pan over low heat until they become fragrant and then add them to your recipe. You can work with szechwan peppercorns either whole peppercorns or ones that are crushed to a fine or coarse powder in a mortar and pestle or spice grinder.

USDA Certified Organic Black and White whole Peppercorns and ground.

It is a real taste treat to have a small collection of peppercorns to try all the different flavors. The white peppercorns blend very well with any white sauces . Use aromatic freshly whole & ground pepper in cooking and at the table. Use 4 to 5 organic whole peppercorns to each quart of liquid for pickles or soups.
