Tuğba Kuruyemiş Four-Colour Mixed Whole Peppercorns 80 g Blend

A four-colour blend of whole peppercorns from Tuğba Kuruyemiş, bringing together black, white, green and pink corns in a single 80 g bag. In Turkey this mix is known as "dört mevsim karabiber" (four-season pepper), and the four colours are exactly why cooks reach for it: visual contrast on the plate and a more layered flavour than plain black pepper alone. What is in the blend: - Black peppercorns — the dried unripe berry of the pepper vine, the most pungent and aromatic of the four. - White peppercorns — the same berry with its outer skin removed, giving a cleaner, milder, earthier note. - Green peppercorns — picked unripe and gently processed, fresher and softer with a light bite. - Pink corns — the fruit of the Schinus tree (not botanically true pepper), fruity and floral with only a whisper of heat. Flavour profile: bold and pungent from the black, smooth and earthy from the white, fresh and grassy from the green, and bright, slightly sweet and fruity from the pink. Together they read as a rounded, fragrant pepper rather than a one-note kick — peppery up front, floral and fruity on the finish. How to use it: these are whole corns made to be ground fresh. Fill a pepper mill or grinder and crack them straight over steak, grilled chicken, fish and seafood, eggs, pasta, soups, salads, roasted vegetables and creamy sauces. You can also add a few whole corns to stocks, stews and marinades, or coarsely crush them as a crust for seared meat and fish. Grinding to order keeps the aromatic oils intact, so the pepper tastes noticeably livelier than pre-ground. Store in a cool, dry place away from direct light and keep the bag sealed between uses to protect the aroma. Net weight 80 g. Whole peppercorns from Turkey, not ground.
