Product Description
White Peppercorns - the heat level is similar to black peppercorn, but with a smoother flavor profile
Sri Lankan white pepper is famous worldwide due to its unique appearance, fragrance, and high essential oil content. In flavor and fragrance, Sri Lankan spices stand in a class of their own.
DRUERA markets White Peppercorns in 2 oz, 4 oz, and 16 oz pack sizes, which can be purchased online by clicking the arrow pointing down next to the pack size.
As pepper berries ripen, they turn from green to yellow to red. If the end product is to be black pepper, the berries are picked while still somewhat immature and then dried. The entire berry or peppercorn is used. As the berries dry, the skin wrinkles and turns deep brown or black.
When ground, the peppercorns yield a powder of light and dark particles. White pepper is produced by removing the dark skin and using only the core. The berries are left to ripen longer on the vine, making removing the skin easier. After harvesting, mature berries are soaked to loosen the skin, which is rubbed off entirely.
The cores, or white peppercorns, are dried in the sun. White pepper is used primarily in dishes and food products where dark particles would be undesirable, such as light-colored sauces and salad dressings, mayonnaise, and cream soups. However, white pepper is traditionally preferred over black pepper for household and restaurant use in Europe.
Our Spices are grown in the wild and, as such, could be considered organic. They are free of any pesticides and herbicides.

What's the difference between white pepper and black pepper?
What's the difference between white pepper and black pepper?
White and black pepper come from the same plant but are processed differently. Black pepper is harvested while still immature and dried with the skin intact, giving it dark color and bold flavor.
White pepper is made from berries that ripen longer on the vine. After harvesting, the mature berries are soaked to loosen the outer skin, which is then rubbed off completely.
Only the inner core is dried, resulting in a smoother flavor profile with similar heat to black pepper but without the sharper, more complex notes that the skin provides.
When should I use white pepper instead of black pepper?
When should I use white pepper instead of black pepper?
White pepper is ideal when you want pepper flavor without visible dark specks. It's the preferred choice for light-colored sauces, cream soups, bechamel, mayonnaise, mashed potatoes, and white gravies where dark particles would be visually unappealing.
In Europe, white pepper is traditionally preferred over black pepper for both household and restaurant cooking.
One customer from Ireland described it as the "best white pepper in the world" and likes it strong.

Are these whole peppercorns or ground?
These are whole white peppercorns. You'll need to use a pepper grinder or mill to grind them before use.
Whole peppercorns retain their essential oils and flavor much longer than pre-ground pepper.
Grinding just before use ensures maximum freshness and potency in your cooking.
