Product Description
4 Colour Mixed Peppercorns
4 colour mixed peppercorns, also called rainbow peppercorns, are a blend of whole peppercorns in different colours, used to season food and grind fresh over it. The blend usually contains black, white, green and pink peppercorns. Together they give a mild heat with a sharp, fruity and slightly floral aroma.
What Each Colour Tastes Like
Each colour in a pack of mixed peppercorns tastes a little different. Black peppercorns bring the strongest heat and a deep, woody aroma. White ones are sharper and earthier. Green peppercorns taste fresher and milder, with a slightly herby note. Pink peppercorns are softer and lightly sweet, with a fruity edge.
This mix of tastes is why many cooks keep a jar of mixed peppercorns next to the hob. One grind gives a rounder flavour than plain black pepper.
Ways to Use Mixed Peppercorns
Mixed peppercorns work best where you want the pepper to show, so they suit simple dishes and finishing touches.
- Crushed over steak, or in a creamy peppercorn sauce
- Ground over salads, avocado on toast and soft cheese
- Stirred into salad dressings and marinades
- Added to pickling jars and brines
- Pressed onto salmon or chicken before pan-frying
- Ground over scrambled eggs, pasta and roast vegetables
How to Grind and Crush Mixed Peppercorns
Whole peppercorns keep their aroma well, and they taste best when ground just before you use them. Put them in a pepper mill and grind straight onto the plate. For a coarse crush, use a pestle and mortar or press them under the flat of a heavy knife.
A coarse crush suits steak crusts and sauces. A finer grind suits dressings and eggs. Add them near the end of cooking if you want a stronger peppery aroma.
Mixed Peppercorns FAQ
What are the four colours in mixed peppercorns?
The four colours are usually black, white, green and pink. Black, white and green come from the same pepper plant and are picked and treated differently. Pink peppercorns come from a different plant but are sold alongside them for their colour and mild, fruity taste.
Can I use mixed peppercorns in a pepper grinder?
Yes, mixed peppercorns suit most standard pepper mills. Fill the mill as normal and grind as you would plain black pepper. If you are unsure, check the instructions that came with your mill.
Do I need to crush them before cooking?
You can add them whole to pickles, brines and slow-cooked stews. For steak, sauces and dressings, crush or grind them first so the flavour comes through properly.

We take great care when preparing and securely packing every order; however, during transportation, parcels may be handled by several parties, including the courier, and despite our best efforts, minor cosmetic damage such as dents, marks, scuffs or damage to external packaging may occasionally occur. Minor cosmetic damage that does not affect the product’s safety, quality or intended use will not normally be considered a product defect. This is particularly applicable to products supplied in cans, tins, plastic containers, boxes or similar packaging. If you receive a product that is broken, leaking, materially damaged, unsafe, unusable or otherwise not as described, please contact us within 24 Hours of delivery by email or telephone and provide your order number, details of the issue and clear photographs of the damaged product and packaging. We may require further information or evidence to investigate the matter and, where necessary, may take up to 14 days to complete our investigation. Where damage appears to have occurred during delivery, we may need to raise a claim with the courier, and you may be required to complete and return any Damage on Receipt (DOR) form or other documentation requested by the courier before the claim can be processed. Some products we sell are price-marked or display a manufacturer’s recommended or printed retail price. Please note that our online selling prices may differ from the price printed on the product because online orders involve additional costs such as picking, packing, packaging materials, warehouse handling, payment processing, website administration and delivery-related costs. You may therefore receive a product displaying a printed or recommended retail price that is lower than the price you paid online. The price you agree to pay is the online selling price displayed on our website at the time you place your order, and the presence of a lower printed or recommended retail price on the packaging does not, by itself, mean that the online purchase price was incorrect. Product images displayed on our website are for illustration and presentation purposes only. Actual product packaging, branding, design, colour, size, shape or appearance may vary depending on availability, manufacturer, batch or packaging updates. Such variations do not necessarily indicate that the product supplied is different from the product ordered, provided that the product itself corresponds to the description and specifications stated on the website. We ask customers to check their order and products as soon as reasonably possible after delivery and contact us promptly if there is any material damage, fault, incorrect item or issue with the goods.
