Description
White pepper is not as common as the well-known black pepper, but this wonderful spice complements light-colored dishes extremely well! Although grown exactly the same way as black pepper, white pepper is fruitier and spicier than black pepper, with noticeable floral notes and slightly less complexity. Happiest Harvest’s organic white pepper is made by carefully hand-selecting nearly ripe peppercorns, removing the fruit’s outside skin, and drying them in the sun.
HEALTH BENEFITS:
Happiest Harvest’s organic white pepper contains about 3.84–5.35% of piperine, an alkaloid that gives this spice its pungent taste and has anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and anti-cancer properties. Rich in flavonoids, iron, and vitamins C, A, and K, white pepper can help keep blood pressure under control. In Ayurveda, white pepper is recommended to enhance appetite, promote gastrointestinal function, treat constipation, and accelerate metabolism. Because white pepper is a hot spice, according to Ayurveda, it is also used to clear congestion and counteract infections in the nose and throat.
HOW TO USE:
White pepper may be used in Western cooking in white sauces or dishes for aesthetic reasons to avoid little black flecks in the sauce. Happiest Harvest’s organic white pepper can be used to season light-colored dishes like soups, pasta, casseroles, pies, cream sauces, mayonnaise, potatoes, and seafood. In Asian cooking, especially Chinese cooking, white pepper is used more commonly than black pepper in soups, marinades, sauces, stir-fries, and more.
