What it is
Black and white pepper come from the same plant, Piper nigrum. Black pepper is made from the dried unripe fruit, while white pepper is made from the dried ripe fruit with the outer skin removed. Both are ground into a powder and used as a spice.
Why it's used
Manufacturers add black and white pepper primarily for flavor. They provide a pungent, spicy taste that enhances savory dishes. They are commonly found in a wide variety of foods, including meats, vegetables, sauces, soups, and spice blends.
Health notes
Black and white pepper are generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA when used as a food ingredient. They are a source of antioxidants and have been studied for potential anti-inflammatory properties, though more research is needed. JECFA has evaluated pepper and established specifications for its identity and quality. At typical dietary intake levels, they are not associated with adverse health effects.
