White peppercorns are great for pepper grinders, adding a mild, earthy flavor to dishes. They work well in marinades or cracked into soups without visible specks. Coming from the Piper nigrum plant, originally from southern India, white peppercorns are the ripened seeds processed to remove the skin. Unlike black pepper, white pepper has a nuanced, floral taste. It's perfect for European, Chinese, and Thai cooking, great in stir-fries or ground for fresh flavor in salads and dishes where a light color is preferred.
