Peppercorn, White Whole

White peppercorns come from the same plant as black peppercorns, but they are actually hulled so that nothing but the seed of the fruit remains. To achieve this, they undergo a process called retting, in which red berries are soaked in water until the outer skins break down and fall off.

Use freshly ground white pepper as you would black pepper when a less intense flavor is desired.
