How is it different from black pepper?

It comes from the same vine. The outer skin is removed, so white pepper is milder, earthier and less fruity.

Is white pepper hotter?

The heat is comparable. The flavour is earthier and less fruity than black.

How do I grind it?

A pepper mill or spice grinder works well. Grind just before use.

How long will it keep?

The best-before date is printed on the jar. Keep the lid closed, in a cool, dry place away from sunlight and heat.

Safed mirch is the Hindi name for white pepper. It comes from the same vine as black pepper (kali mirch), with the skin removed.
