White pepper, derived from the ripe seeds of the Piper nigrum plant, is a popular spice in culinary traditions around the world. Unlike black pepper, white pepper is processed by soaking fully ripe berries to remove their black outer skin, revealing the white inner seed. It has a milder, earthier flavor than black pepper and is often used in light-colored dishes such as soups, chutneys, and mashed potatoes to maintain an aesthetic appearance without dark spots.
