White Pepper

Indonesia produces black and white pepper. White pepper is traditionally produced in Bangka Belitung and known as Muntok white pepper. White pepper (Piper nigrum) is a flowering vine in the family Piperaceae. Black and White Peppercorns are both the fruit of the Pepper plant, but they are processed differently. The berries used for White Pepper are ripened on the vine and soaked so that their outer hulls are easily removed. White pepper is produced by removing outer skin of the Berries. Vietnam and Indonesia are the largest white pepper producing countries that convert about 50% of its Pepper to White.
