Frontier Co-op® Organic Vietnamese Black Peppercorns (Piper nigrum) have bold, sharp black pepper flavor and heat with lemon citrusy notes. Grown sustainably in the lush hills of Vietnam, these warm and spicy black peppercorns are harvested just before ripening and carefully sun-dried. They deliver a hot, robust, pungent flavor to any dish where prominent black pepper heat is desired. Whole peppercorns offer the freshest aroma and taste, making them the preferred choice for chefs and home cooks alike, and are excellent for using both whole and freshly cracked.
