Crush it fresh for soups and white sauces and you get the pepper heat without dark specks in the dish.
Whole white peppercorns from Idukki. White pepper comes from the same vine as black pepper. The ripe berries are soaked and the outer skin is removed before drying, which leaves a smooth, pale corn with a milder, earthier heat.
When to use white pepper
- White sauces, mashed potatoes and cream soups, where black specks would show
- Chinese-style soups, fried rice and noodles
- Kerala stew and other light, coconut-milk dishes
Its smell is sharper than black pepper's, so start with a little and add more to taste.
Storing it
Keep the resealable pouch closed tight, or move the corns to an airtight jar, and grind as you need them. Ground white pepper loses its flavour quickly.
