	Just as ground black pepper comes from black
pepper berries, ground white pepper comes from 
pepper berries.
	Fully ripened pepper berries, yellow to red 
in color, are harvested to be processed into white 
pepper. Berries are separated from the stalk, filled 
into jute bags and soaked in fresh running water to 
remove the pericarp. This process of retting takes 
about two weeks. Thereafter the berries are washed 
several times in rattan baskets to remove the stalks 
and the pericarp before sun-drying for two to three 
days.
