White Pepper | Safed Mirch |

White Pepper 🌿 is a spice made from the seeds of the Piper nigrum plant, the same plant that produces black pepper. While black pepper is made by drying the whole fruit, white pepper is made by removing the outer layer of the fruit, leaving only the inner seed. It has a milder, less complex flavor compared to black pepper, with a more earthy and slightly fermented taste.
