McCormick White Pepper, Ground 18 oz 510g
McCormick Ground White Pepper is made from fully ripe pepper berries of the Piper nigrum vine. After harvesting, the outer dark layer of the berry is removed, leaving the pale inner seed, which is then dried and finely ground. The result is a pepper with gentle heat, a softer aroma, and a lighter appearance than black pepper.
White pepper is widely used in Chinese, Thai, and other Asian cuisines, as well as in European cooking where appearance matters. Because it blends in visually, it is commonly used in white or light-colored foods such as cream soups, béchamel and other white sauces, mashed potatoes, seafood dishes, and egg preparations. It adds pepper warmth without visible black specks.
Flavor-wise, white pepper is milder and slightly earthier than black pepper. Removing the outer husk changes the flavor profile, producing a subtler heat that integrates smoothly rather than standing out sharply. This makes it well suited for dishes where pepper should support the recipe without drawing attention to itself.
Ground white pepper is typically added during cooking so its flavor disperses evenly throughout a dish. It is especially useful when seasoning soups, sauces, gravies, and delicate dishes where color consistency and smooth texture are important.

McCormick White Pepper, Ground 18 oz 510g - FAQ
- Q: What is white pepper best used for?
- A: White pepper is best used in light-colored foods where visible black pepper specks are not desired. It is commonly used in cream soups, white sauces, mashed potatoes, seafood dishes, eggs, and Asian stir-fries where a subtle pepper heat is preferred.
- Q: How does white pepper differ from black pepper?
- A: White pepper and black pepper come from the same plant, but white pepper has the outer husk removed before grinding. This gives white pepper a milder, slightly earthier flavor and a lighter color, while black pepper has a sharper bite and visible dark specks.
- Q: What is the difference between ground white pepper and whole white pepper?

- Q: When should I choose white pepper instead of black pepper?
- A: Choose white pepper when appearance matters or when a softer pepper flavor is desired. It is often preferred in white sauces, cream-based dishes, seafood, and cuisines where pepper should enhance without standing out.
- Q: What does “Muntok” mean on the label?
- A: Muntok refers to a traditional growing and processing region for white pepper in Indonesia, named after the port of Muntok on Bangka Island. “Muntok white pepper” is a well-known style of white pepper recognized for its clean flavor, pale color, and consistent quality.
