About Black and white pepper

Black and white pepper is a blend of black and white peppercorns from the pepper plant, used as a table or cooking seasoning. It is sold whole, cracked, or ground and can be added during cooking or at service.

Black peppercorns are dark and wrinkled, while white peppercorns are pale and have had their outer layer removed. Both provide a pungent, warm flavour, but their relative proportions and freshness influence the blend’s aroma and intensity. A seasoned mix may contain ingredients beyond pepper, so product labels matter.
