In addition, green pepper is also ideal for giving fruit salads a special, sweet and spicy kick. It is also often used for baking bread.
If the whole green peppercorns are marinated in salt or vinegar brine, they are usually used completely. If the green grains have been dried, there are other options. For optimal flavor development , you should cook whole green pepper in the liquid for around 30 minutes . As a result, the grains become soft and their consistency differs only slightly from pickled pepper.
