Viva Doria Rainbow Peppercorns - Four Peppercorn Blend, Whole Black, Green, Pink and White Pepper, Steam Sterilized 6 Oz, For Grinder Refill

Although I do use pre-ground black pepper in most of my recipes, I prefer this blend of peppercorns for fresh ground pepper at the table. Granted the variety of colors looks pretty in my glass peppermill, but, more importantly, this blend of peppercorns is less intense than using only black peppercorns. Each color is produced differently, and has a different flavor profile. So, this blend is perfect for table use.In addition to adding flavor to food, pepper has a number of health benefits such as:1) It enhances digestion by stimulating the production of digestive enzymes promoting better digestion with less bloating and gas.2) Contains piperine which enhances bioavailability of essential nutrients so your body absorbs vitamins and minerals more effectively.3) Piperine boost metabolism and burning of calories which helps to support weight loss.4) Pepper has potent anti-inflammatory properties that can help reduce joint pain and swelling.5) Pepper is rich in antioxidants that fight oxidative stress and helps to combat free radicals in the body. This reduces the risk of cell damage and keeps premature aging at bay.My favorite use for this pepper blend is when freshly ground on eggs. It brings the flavor of eggs to a whole new level. The taste and aroma of this pepper blend is superior to other blends I have bought in the past.I hope this review was helpful for you.

I don't like pepper in general. I don't like spicy things and I hate how the burning on my tongue seems to last forever. I've retired I've decided to learn the proper way to cook foods that makes meals visually appealing and recipes that add flavor, variety, and are healthier, and for a lot of recipes that means adding pepper. Using a 4-blend mix that I grind myself seemed a good way to start.What a surprise, and I'm now a pepper convert by using Viva Dorias Rainbow Blend Peppercorns. When I first opened the resealable bag the aroma was tantalizing, and that happens each time I grind some. The blend of whole black, green, pink and white peppercorns is visually appealing and brightens up my dishes, and I've received many comments from people who notice the blend that shows through my glass, clear containers. Each color of the blend contributes to the odor and spiciness of the mix and each has different uses. The most common variety, black peppercorns are green peppercorns that have then been left out to dry. They have the strongest, most pungent flavor. I didn't realize there are different varieties including Tellicherry Brazilian, and Lampong. Green peppercorns are berries that are picked before they are ripe and aren't dried in the sun so their color remains green. White peppercorns are soaked in water after harvesting to remove the outer husk and then dried in the sun. They have a spicy kick but are considered less pungent than the others. Pink (or red) peppercorns are the berries that are ripe. They have a sweeter, more mellow flavor and are rare compared to the others and more expensive, which is probably why there are so few in a mix. We all know what black pepper smells and tastes like. Green peppercorns are only slightly spicy and its flavor doesn't last long.I like that I can tolerate this mix because there are different degrees of spiciness from each color even though all colors are harvested from the same bush, which I didn't know. Using a mixed variety both when cooking and at the table allows me to enjoy pepper without experiencing the tang of black pepper yet enjoy the different attributes of 4 peppercorn varieties. Another benefit of grinding the peppercorns keeps their freshness for long then buying ground pepper, a year vs. 4 - 6 months.

We love these peppercorns and use them multiple times daily. They’re always fresh, vibrant but not overpowering.

We have been very pleased with these peppercorns. The mix isn't just color, it's a mix of flavors. New family favorite!

Taste pretty good .
