White pepper
Nutrition
White pepper comes from the same plant as black pepper, but the berries are harvested later and stripped of their outer skin, leaving only the white core.
White pepper is mainly grown in tropical regions such as India, Indonesia, Malaysia and Vietnam.
The ripe berries of the pepper plant are harvested and then soaked in water to remove the outer skin. The inner seeds are dried to form white peppercorns.
In addition to white pepper, there are black pepper, green pepper and pink pepper, each with its own unique production method and flavor profile.
