White pepper whole

White pepper whole can be considered as the mild little brother of the black peppercorns. In fact, it is the same fruit from the same tree, but the time of harvesting and the way in which it is processed affect its taste and appearance. White pepper whole is a lot less pungent than the black variety. It is therefore used as an alternative to black pepper when this is too sharp for a dish. The white peppercorns are also regularly used in dishes with a light colour. This way their appearance is not changed by the contrasting black colour of black peppercorn. You can order white pepper whole at Natural Spices online in a pack size of 600 grams or 1, 5 or 25 kilos.

The difference between black and white pepper whole

White pepper whole comes just like the black variant of the tropical pepper plant that originates in India. Peppercorns are its dried berries. Black peppercorns come from the in fact unripe fruit. White pepper whole has been able to ripen on the tree, after which its skin is loosened from the core. This core is dried and is one of the most popular herbs in today's cuisine. The whole white pepper that you can buy online here comes from Vietnam. Its flavour is more aromatic and less dominant than black pepper, which is a lot sharper.
