White Peppercorns Whole 50gm

White peppercorns are a popular spice used in culinary preparations around the world. They are derived from the same plant as black peppercorns, but have a milder and slightly different flavor profile.

White peppercorns are made by removing the outer black layer of the peppercorn, revealing the light-colored seed inside. This process involves soaking the ripe berries in water for several days, which causes the outer layer to soften and can be easily removed. The seeds are then dried, resulting in the characteristic white color.

White peppercorns have a subtle, earthy flavor with hints of pine and citrus. They are less pungent than black peppercorns, making them a popular choice for dishes where a milder pepper flavor is desired.

These peppercorns are commonly used in light-colored dishes such as white sauces, mashed potatoes, and cream-based soups. They are also a key ingredient in many Asian cuisines, particularly in Chinese and Thai dishes.

White peppercorns can be ground using a pepper mill or mortar and pestle to release their flavor. They can be used in both savory and sweet dishes, adding a delicate spiciness to desserts like fruit compotes and baked goods.

When storing white peppercorns, it is best to keep them in an airtight container in a cool, dark place to preserve their flavor and aroma. Properly stored, they can maintain their quality for up to two years.
