Lampong Black Peppercorns — Whole
A classic pepper with plenty of personality! Whole Lampong black peppercorns bring rich, spicy flavor and a bold aroma to everyday cooking. Grind as needed for freshly released flavor.
Uses
Grind over steaks, burgers, chicken, eggs, and roasted vegetables. Crush for seasoning rubs and marinades, or add whole peppercorns to stocks and pickling brines. They’re also wonderful in sauces, soups, and salad dressings.
From the Colonel
Pepper was once so valuable that peppercorns were used as currency in some places. Today we’re spoiled by how plentiful it is. While black pepper is wonderful in savory dishes, try it freshly ground on strawberries for an amazing taste.
