White pepper is cultivated from the ripe fruit seeds of a tropical vine. Black pepper is the cooked and dried unripe fruit of the vine. White pepper is a little milder in flavour and I use it when I prefer not to have black speckles in my dish, like a white sauce.
About Susan Joy
I've battled with Chronic Fatty Liver Disease, an Autoimmune Thyroid Disease (Hashimoto's), Arthritis and digestive issues for many years. I decided to conduct my own research on what food choices could help my conditions. These choices culminate under what is termed a Paleo Lifestyle. I live in Perth, Western Australia with my husband of over 49 years. I'm the author of The JOYful Table cookbook, A JOYful Christmas, The JOYful Table 5-week Meal Plan and The Paleo Bread Cookbook.
