What’s the Difference Between White Pepper and Black Pepper?
This is one of the most frequently asked questions.
Both spices come from the same pepper plant, but white pepper is made by removing the outer layer of the peppercorn before drying. This gives it a smoother, earthier flavour and lighter appearance, while black pepper has a bolder, sharper taste.
Why Use White Pepper Instead of Black Pepper?
White pepper is often chosen for dishes where appearance matters, such as creamy soups, mashed potatoes and white sauces, because it blends seamlessly without leaving black flecks.
How Should White Pepper Powder Be Stored?
Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Keep the container tightly sealed after each use to maintain its flavour and aroma.
