These peppercorns come from the berries that black peppercorns do. However, unlike black peppercorns, the outer skin is removed leaving only the seed. These light-colored peppercorns have a flavor that is remarkably different from its black counterpart. White peppercorns are far more popular for European cooking, while most people in the United States rarely use it. White pepper is especially valued for its ability to blend in with light-colored dishes.
Spices and herbs should be stored away from light, heat and moisture. However, storing spices in the refrigerator or freezer may actually shorten their shelf life and they risk picking up other food odors. In general, whole spices have a longer shelf life than ground spices. Depending on the spice and how well it is stored, a good rule of thumb is six months to a year for powdered spices and longer for whole spices and seeds. The best way to determine if your spices or herbs are still fresh is to close your eyes and sniff – if you cannot immediately tell what the herb or spice is, toss it!
