Description
White pepper is a spice commonly used in cooking that comes from the same plant as black pepper. The peppercorns are harvested when fully ripe and are then soaked to remove the outer layer, resulting in a white-colored peppercorn with a slightly milder taste than black pepper. White pepper is often used in dishes where a milder flavor is desired or where black specks from black pepper would be undesirable, such as in white sauces and mashed potatoes.
