Did you know?
«Guinea pepper,» also known as «Selim seeds» or «Kili pepper,» is not actually a true pepper. It grows in Africa on a massive tree known as Xylopia aethiopica, which can reach heights of up to 20 meters. Selim pepper resembles a small, long, flat, ebony-colored bean (3 to 5 cm on average). This "false pepper" has flavors reminiscent of cubeb and nutmeg, with a very aromatic and slightly pungent taste.
White Pepper: Delicate Subtlety
White pepper differs from black pepper because it is harvested when fully ripe, when the cluster reveals yellow and red berries. After harvesting, the pepper clusters are soaked in running water to macerate them, removing the pericarp and leaving only the white seed inside. White pepper offers a milder and more subtle flavor than black pepper, with slightly floral notes. It's perfect for delicate dishes, creamy sauces, and seafood.

Green Pepper: Fresh, Green, and Spicy
The green pepper is harvested before it is fully ripe, when the berries are still green and not dried. It is often available as whole berries, preserved in brine or flash-dried to preserve their bright color and pungent flavor. Green pepper offers a fresh, vegetable-like flavor and a distinct spicy note. It is often used in sauces, fish dishes, salads, and marinades to add a touch of freshness and a herbaceous aroma.
