White Pepper Powder 100G

Description

White Pepper Powder is a finely ground form of white pepper, derived from the inner seed of fully ripened berries of the Piper nigrum plant. Unlike black pepper, where the berries are harvested before full ripening and then dried, white pepper undergoes a different processing method. The outer layer of the ripe berries is removed, leaving only the inner seed, which is then dried and ground to create white pepper powder.

Key characteristics and uses of White Pepper Powder include:

Color: White Pepper Powder is characterized by its pale color, ranging from creamy white to light beige.
