Where does ground white pepper come from?

Ground white pepper comes from the tropical pepper plant. This is the same plant from which the black peppercorns are extracted. Peppercorns are the dried berries of this plant. Their colour is determined by the moment of harvesting, or their ripeness. Where green and black peppercorns come from the unripe fruit, the white variety has had time to ripen on the tree. When the skin turns orange or red, it is harvested and soaked in water. The remaining pepper pellet is dried and ground. The ground white pepper that you can buy online here comes from Vietnam. Ground white pepper has a slightly more aromatic flavour than black pepper. Moreover, it is somewhat less dominant. This makes it easy to combine with other herbs, such as cumin.
