Enhance Your Dishes with Subtle White Pepper
White pepper has a milder and slightly different flavor compared to black pepper due to differences in processing. It has a sharp, pungent taste with earthy and floral notes and lacks the intense aroma of black pepper. White pepper is typically ground into a fine powder before use, although whole white peppercorns are also available. The absence of the outer skin gives white pepper a smoother texture and a cleaner appearance, making it ideal for use in light-colored dishes where the specks of black pepper may be undesirable.
