Green pepper[edit]

Green pepper, like black, is made from the unripe drupes. Dried green peppercorns are treated
in a way that retains the green color, such as treatment with sulfur dioxide, canning or freeze-
drying. Pickled peppercorns, also green, are unripe drupes preserved in brine orvinegar. Fresh,
unpreserved green pepper drupes, largely unknown in the West, are used in some Asian
cuisines, particularly Thai cuisine.
[8]
Their flavor has been described as spicy and fresh, with a
bright aroma.
[9]
They decay quickly if not dried or preserved.
Orange pepper and red pepper[edit]
Orange pepper or red pepper usually consists of ripe red pepper drupes preserved in brine and
vinegar. Ripe red peppercorns can also be dried using the same color-preserving techniques
used to produce green pepper
