Omega White Pepper Powder: ground white pepper for cream sauces, soups and Chinese dishes. Single 1 kg pack.
White pepper powder is ground from peppercorns with the outer skin removed, giving a sharp, earthy heat without dark specks. It is preferred in white sauces, mashed potatoes, cream soups and light-coloured dishes, and is essential in Chinese cooking such as hot and sour soup, fried rice and dim sum fillings. It also appears in Thai and Vietnamese marinades. White pepper tastes different from black, more pungent and musky, so add a little at a time. White pepper comes from the same Piper nigrum vine as black pepper, with the outer layer of the fruit removed before drying. Ground white pepper can develop a stale, musty smell when stored badly, so keep it sealed and cool. Restaurants keep it for clear consommés too.
