Ground White Black Peppercorns 100g
Our white peppercorns make a wonderful addition to pepper mills and add earthy, subtle flavors to a wide variety of international dishes. Whole peppercorns are great for mixing into marinades or crushing fresh into cream-based soups and sauces for a light, peppery flavor without the colorful specks. White peppercorns are a nice alternative to the much more pungent black peppercorns.
Piper nigrum is a member of the Piperaceae family. Native to southern India, this evergreen climbing vine is now cultivated in tropical regions around the world. Black, green, and white peppercorns all come from the same plant, but are harvested and processed using various methods. White peppercorns are actually the seed of the Piper nigrum fruit, harvested after they have fully ripened on the vine. White peppercorns are traditionally processed by soaking ripe peppercorns in water for about a week, removing the outer papery skin, and then drying them.
While black peppercorns may be popular for their rich flavor and healthful qualities, white peppercorns provide subtle, delicate flavors to enliven culinary dishes and help support the digestive system's daily functioning. Compared to black peppercorns, white peppercorns tend to be more floral, earthy, and complex. White pepper's mild flavor comes from removing its outer skin after soaking. This removes piperine, one of black pepper's main chemical components, which is concentrated in the papery outer layer and is thought to be responsible for the pepper's pungency and healthful properties.
White pepper is popular in European, Chinese, and Thai cooking. Whole white peppercorns can be added to marinades or crushed fresh and sprinkled over stir-fries. For the freshest, most complex flavors, white peppercorns can also be added in a pepper mill. Grind whole peppercorns in salads, potatoes, stews, or any dish where an even, light color is desired.
