Black and white peppercorns are both the fruit of the pepper/piper nigrum plant. The primary difference between the two is a matter of processing. Usually people are familiar with black peppercorns and are picked when the berries are about to ripe. These berries are sun-dried after picking which darkens their outer layer. On the other hand, with white peppercorns, the outer layer of the berry is removed either before or after and it is dried so that only the lighter coloured inner seed is left. The outer layer can be removed in a couple of ways. For instance, the berry may be soaked in water and this allows the skin to fall off. Another way of removing the skin involves washing the skin off with a continuous flow of water. The latter method creates a cleaner final product and is less time consuming.Whole vs. Ground Whole peppercorns retain their flavor for much longer, so recipes often advise using freshly ground pepper. The same is true with white peppercorns. If you want the most flavor, grind it fresh before using. Ground white pepper is readily available, but it will lose its potency faster over time. Both ground and whole white pepper go stale faster than black pepper, so be sure to refresh your stock regularly.
