Black Peppercorns, Cracked

Cracked black pepper is coarsely ground with a rich, fruity flavour. The best way to use cracked black pepper is in rubs for roasted or barbecued meat. Try also as a versatile finishing condiment or with steak.

The benefit of using cracked black peppercorns is that they retain more of their essential oils and volatile compounds, in comparison with ground black pepper. The larger pieces of black pepper release their flavour much more slowly, as well as providing a pleasant crunch when bitten into, adding a unique sensory element to the food.

They also tend to have a longer shelf life because once ground, the essential oils and flavour compounds begin to degrade, losing flavour and aroma over time

If you are an avid baker, cracked black peppercorns are delightful added into loaves of bread. Or, if you are also looking for something extravagant check out our Mixed Peppercorns and Exotic Mixed Peppercorns.
