White Pepper

White peppercorns are both the fruit of the pepper plant, but they are processed differently than Black Pepper. The outer layer of the sun dried Black pepper is removed to produce White Pepper. While growing on the vine the peppercorn ripens from green to yellow to red. This pepper is used widely in preperations that are not intended to be dark. White pepper is known for its sharp bite and is used to add extra flavor to Chinese soups, marinades for meat and poultry, and spicier stir-frys.
White pepper is usually added once the dish is cooked as over cooking of the pepper can make the taste bitter. It is spicier than the Black Pepper. The flavor would be earthy or smoky.
White Pepper has its unique medical benefits too. It is believed to fight Colon Cancer.

It is believed to help cut fat and enable weight loss. It contains minerals such as manganese, copper, and magnesium, which are essential for healthy bone development and strength.
