White Pepper

Description

White pepper consists solely of the seed of the ripe fruit of the pepper plant, with the thin darker-coloured skin (flesh) of the fruit removed. This is usually accomplished by a process known as retting, where fully ripe red pepper berries are soaked in water for about a week, so the flesh of the peppercorn softens and decomposes; rubbing then removes what remains of the fruit, and the naked seed is dried.

The flavor of white pepper is often described as musty, grassy, or slightly fermented. It’s generally considered milder than black pepper, though some claim they prefer its heat, and others describe notes of ginger. As in many things, the taste is subjective and can depend on how it is processed.

Description:

White pepper, like black pepper, is made from the berries of the pepper plant, also known as the Piper nigrum. Unlike black pepper, however, white pepper comes from berries that are picked at full ripeness. These berries are then soaked in water to ferment.

Usage:

Ground white pepper is used commonly in Chinese, Thai, and Portuguese cuisine, but also in salads, light-coloured sauces, and mashed potatoes as a substitute, because black pepper would visibly stand out. However, white pepper lacks certain compounds present in the outer layer of the drupe, resulting in a different overall flavor. White, yellow, and red onions may be used.
