Hi, there - White pepper, which delivers a less pungent flavor than
black, is from the same peppercorn as black and green. Unlike black or
green peppercorns, white is allowed to fully ripen. The berry's skin is
then peeled and dried.  Chefs often prefer to use white pepper in
cream-colored sauces or dishes as dark pepper would mar its appearance.
Sincerely, Sunny
