Check the listing for details. Greek Peppercorns Whole White & Black Set Elixir Herbs & Spices #76. Condition: New. Listed at 20.58 USD. After a long search, I came across a small shop in Agios Nikolaos on Crete while looking for high-quality, tasty and gently processed spices and teas. The store called “Elixir Herbs & Spices” only has approx. 20 m² and is located in the heart of the small town not far from a small fishing port. Most of the ingredients grow in the region of Agios Nikolaos and the mountainous areas towards Sitia in the east of the island. Here you can still taste the pure and natural nature, as the plants are not grown commercially, but can grow and thrive in the wild. It is then soaked in water and peeled, so in the end only the seeds and fruit casing remain. As a result of this processing, the pepper loses a little of its aroma, but gains in spiciness. Like most types of pepper, this one can also be us.
