Additive for soups and stews: Whole white pepper seeds are added to meat, chicken or vegetable soups, stews and casseroles to give them a touch of heat and additional flavor. They can then be removed before serving if preferred.
Infusion in oil:Whole white pepper seeds are sometimes infused into cooking oil to create a flavored oil used in the preparation of stir-fry dishes, salad dressings, and other dishes.

Unlike black pepper, the berries are picked ripe, dried and peeled. It is subjected to a maceration process with water, from which it loses its skin and the white grain that we know remains.
The result is a pepper that is spicier than the black pepper but with less intense aromas.
