White Peppercorns 1kg
The Elegant, Complex Pepper for Creamy Sauces, Seafood, and Culinary Precision
Discover the refined side of pepper with Spice n Easy's Premium White Peppercorns. These are not simply a milder black pepper; they are the fully ripened berry with the outer black skin removed, revealing a smoother, more complex flavour profile. White pepper delivers a sharp, earthy heat without the bold fruitiness of black pepper, making it the secret weapon for seasoning light-coloured dishes where you want the heat without the visual black specks.
A cornerstone of classic French cuisine (think béchamel and velouté sauces) and many Asian dishes, white pepper offers a unique pungency that elevates seafood, poultry, soups, and mashed potatoes with sophistication and depth.
Key Benefits & Features
-

Visual Elegance: The perfect choice for seasoning white sauces, light soups, mashed potatoes, and seafood without dark flecks.
-
Essential for French & Asian Cuisine: A non-negotiable ingredient for authentic creamy sauces, pho, and Chinese soups.

The Chef's Choice for Discreet, Complex Heat
Why do professional chefs reach for white pepper? For its unique ability to add a clean, penetrating heat and a funky, earthy depth that complements rather than overpowers delicate flavours. Spice n Easy's White Peppercorns allow you to achieve this same level of culinary precision at home.
White vs. Black Peppercorns:
-
Black Peppercorns: are picked unripe and dried with their skin on, giving them a bold, fruity, and pungent flavour with visible black specks.
-
White Peppercorns: are picked ripe and have the outer skin removed through soaking, leaving just the inner seed. This results in a sharper, less complex, but more earthy and direct heat.
How to Use White Peppercorns in Your Kitchen:
-
Creamy White Sauces: The classic use. Add to béchamel, Alfredo, velouté, and potato gratins for heat without colour.
-
Light-Coloured Soups: Season cream of mushroom, cauliflower soup, vichyssoise, and chowders authentically.
-
Asian Cuisine: Essential for the broth of Vietnamese pho and many Chinese hot and sour soups.
-
Seafood & Poultry: Grind over poached fish, scallops, or chicken breasts for a sharp, clean pepper kick.
-
Mashed Potatoes & Dips: Stir into mashed potatoes, white bean dip, or ranch dressing for a subtle, earthy heat.
A Note on Flavour: White pepper has a distinct, slightly barnyard-like aroma when first ground, which mellows into its characteristic earthy heat when cooked. This unique flavour is a hallmark of many classic dishes.
