Abart foods ground white pepper 4oz

White peppercorns, ground or whole, are a spice derived from Piper nigrum, the same plant that produces black peppercorns . Unlike black peppercorns, which are harvested unripe and dried, white peppercorns are allowed to fully ripen on the vine before the outer pericarp (fruit wall) is removed. This process results in a milder flavored and lighter colored peppercorn. It’s also commonly used in Asian cuisine, particularly in Chinese and Vietnamese cooking. White pepper is also often the preferred pepper for light-colored creams and sauces because black peppercorns can leave black specks.
