WHITE PEPPER POWDER
White pepper powder is made from fully ripe pepper berries (Piper nigrum ) that have been soaked to remove the outer skin, then dried and ground. This process creates a milder, earthier, and slightly fermented flavor compared to black pepper, with less heat and a more subtle aroma. The cream-white to beige powder is prized in Nigerian cuisine for light-colored dishes where black specks are undesirable, and for its unique digestive and metabolic benefits.
