You don't really need fresh ones. All the Thai recipes that I
know use brine-pickled green peppercorns as do some French ones.
The pickled peppercorns are available at many ordinary
supermarkets.

Some Southeast Asian markets carry frozen green peppercorns on the stem.
I have never heard of anyone growing their own - the plant is a tropical
vine and probably wouldn't fruit in a temperate climate.

Hi James,

I have access to fresh green peppercorns from Thailand, and would say they are
far stronger than the pickled ones, more like black pepper in this respect. The
advantage of buying the fresh green ones is that they soon turn black on the
vine, and provide superb black pepper as well.
cheers

Interesting! I must try them some time if I ever see them on
sale.
