So, what is black and white pepper?

Black and white pepper are two different forms of the same plant, Piper nigrum. They are both widely used spices that add a warm, pungent flavor to a variety of dishes. Black pepper is made from fully ripe pepper berries that have been dried and then ground, while white pepper is made from the same berries but with the outer layer removed before drying. The result is a milder, more complex flavor that is perfect for delicate dishes where black pepper's stronger taste might overwhelm. These two peppercorns are a must-have in any pantry, providing both heat and depth to any cuisine.
