Peppercorns are the berries of an evergreen vine native to Asia. When the ripened orange berries are harvested, the outer hulls are removed revealing the creamy white core. Spice Islands grinds this ivory gem for a gentle, aromatic spice. Ground White Pepper offers subtle, warm, peppery flavor to sauces, glazes, bastes and dips. Use to liven up ordinary mashed potatoes.
