❓ Did you know that...
Pepper was once valued as highly as gold. For centuries, it was used as a "convertible currency" in both the East and the West. In the Middle Ages, it was used as a form of payment for taxes, rent, and sometimes even as a dowry.
It was considered such a valuable spice that the English began using its substitutes to flavor herbal dishes. The demand for pepper prompted Vasco da Gama to discover the sea route to the East. Pepper, a perennial plant, has shoots that can grow up to 15 meters long.
Its white variety comes from India. It is produced on the Indonesian island of Bangka. It is the ripe part of the black peppercorn, which, after soaking in water, has its outer pericarp removed. The resulting gray seeds are dried until they become gray-white.
✔️ Uses:
Ground white pepper is worth adding at the end of preparing a dish. Thanks to its flavor, it can spice up lightly colored dishes, such as those made with poultry and fish. It's also a perfect finishing touch to white sauces, broths, soups, pâtés, offal, and even vegetable juices.
White pepper is also known for its use in confectionery – it's added to sweet desserts to achieve a refined flavor. Ground white pepper can be used to enhance the flavor of pear, strawberry, and gingerbread desserts.
