As pepper berries ripen, they turn from green to yellow to red. If the end product is to be black pepper, the berries are picked while still somewhat immature and then dried. The entire berry or peppercorn is used. As the berries dry, the skin wrinkles and turns deep brown or black. When ground, the peppercorns yield a powder of light and dark particles. White pepper is produced by removing the dark skin and using only the core. The berries are left to ripen longer on the vine, making removing the skin easier. After harvesting, mature berries are soaked to loosen the skin, which is rubbed off entirely. The cores, or white peppercorns, are dried in the sun. White pepper is used primarily in dishes and food products where dark particles would be undesirable, such as light-colored sauces and salad dressings, mayonnaise, and cream soups. However, white pepper is traditionally preferred over black pepper for household and restaurant use in Europe. Our Spices are grown in the wild and, as such, could be considered organic.
