McCormick Whole Black Peppercorns, 7 oz – Bold Flavor for Fresh Grinding

Elevate Your Dishes with McCormick Whole Black Peppercorns

At McCormick, we hand-harvest our black peppercorns, selecting larger berries to capture the boldest flavor. The result is a pepper that unlocks earthy aroma and a pungent kick when ground. This 7 oz bag is designed for steady access and consistent quality, doubling the convenience of the 3.5 oz size so you’ll always have pepper on hand for weeknight meals and weekend feasts.

How you use it matters as much as what you use it with. Ground pepper delivers a quick aroma and a robust bite, while whole peppercorns lend a gentler heat that becomes more pronounced as they simmer in stocks or braises. In the kitchen, you might grind a small pinch over a pan of seared steaks, fold whole berries into a pot of stock for a slow simmer, or drop them into a brine or pickle mixture to infuse flavor gradually over time.

Practical uses that fit real-life cooking

• Freshly ground pepper over meats, vegetables, and sauces for aroma and heat
• Whole peppercorns in pickling spice and herb sachets for tangy, layered flavor
• Crushed or ground pepper in brines for poultry, pork, and roasts
• In long-simmer stocks, braises, and stews to deepen sweetness and complexity

Beyond flavor, McCormick continues to invest in people and land. The Grown For Good initiative supports farming families and sustainable practices, and the brand proudly works to uplift women in agriculture. If you’re building flavor foundations for weeknight dinners or thoughtful entertaining, these peppercorns offer a reliable, versatile option without overpromising results—just a possibility of bolder taste when used as part of your process.
