What Is White Pepper?

White pepper comes from the same plant as black pepper (Piper nigrum), but it is processed in a different way. While black pepper uses the whole dried berry with its outer skin, white pepper is made by removing the outer skin of fully ripe pepper berries after soaking them in water. Only the white inner seed is then dried and used.

This process produces a milder, more delicate heat and a lighter color, making white pepper ideal for light-colored dishes such as cream soups, sauces, mashed potatoes, seafood, and premium snack seasonings.
