Pantry guide
Best White pepper for home cooking
What White pepper is for, which kitchens use it, and where to find a jar worth cooking with.
Why cooks start here
The same vine as black, soaked and hulled — heat without the dark specks, a Chinese and French habit.
In 8 ComidaTime kitchens, including Chinese, French, and Thai, White pepper is not decoration. Add it where the recipe puts it: early if it needs fat and time, late if it is perfume.
Taste White pepper before you empty the spoon. Fresh jars smell like themselves; tired ones smell like dust. Buy the smallest amount you will finish.
