Black pepper vs. white pepper | which to use and why

[@dancoulson6579]

I've always preferred black pepper. I'm not bothered too much about the appearance of it, it never bothers me, and I prefer the flavor. Never knew that black and white came from the same plant. I was happy to learn that.

[@kerryshultz9766]

I bought white peppercorns from a whole foods store here in Australia about 2 years ago. It was recommended by a chef on KZbin. I opened the bay where the peppercorns were and I was almost knocked over by the extreme smell of them. I used them over my meals for a few days but I found them much hotter in taste than the black pepper corns so I added them to those and slowly I have become accustomed to the white pepper's scent and taste. Somehow they remind me of the little pepper shakers in my grandmother's cafe way back when I was a small child in Sydney. BTW pepper aids in digestion and absorption of some foods and turmeric is one.

[@IWantToCook]

Good to hear! The ground variety I get here in the U.S. is quite mild. Perhaps time strengthened yours, or they are just more flavorful by nature. Glad you are able to use them, though. Cheers!

despite being native to indonesia, black pepper are a lot less popular here especially for our traditional cookings. we mostly use the white one because of the district smell and taste

Now I know the white and black pepper comes from the same plant. Thank you chef matt! Looking forward to many more kitchen 101

Thank-you Chef Matt Degen for your sharing of this video which is informative and helpful in understanding the difference between white and black pepper. It is well explained.😊 Watching from Singapore.

[@IWantToCook]

So glad it helped! Thank you for watching. Sending cooking love from California 🙏

[@EhsanMusic]

Hi chef, thanks for the explanation. I rarely use white pepper, the only dish I use it in is in the flour mix for fried chicken, along with black pepper.

[@IWantToCook]

That’s a great use for white pepper, and one of the rumored “secret ingredients” of KFC chicken. Thanks for watching and happy cooking 🙏

[@Ray_Argues]

I first encountered white pepper cooking Japanese Miso Ramen. Other than that, I wouldn't have known there was white pepper. I only found this video becuase I wanted to know the difference. Great video. Straight to the point. 👍

[@IWantToCook]

Thank you and happy cooking!

[@billbanta7189]

We use the mixed peppercorns in our grinder

[@timothybradford4]

Video idea: taking a wide variety of spices and explaining how they taste or what they add to a dish individually.

[@IWantToCook]

Fantastic idea. Thanks for the suggestion!

What about red and orange peppercorns?

[@IWantToCook]

I can’t say that I’ve worked with or even seen those sold where I live. I’ll have to seek them out!

[@sarahm4169]

Hello. What's the difference between red and green pepper? And what foods do they go with?

[@IWantToCook]

If you are referring to peppers such as chiles, red peppers are usually more ripe -- such as with red bell peppers and red jalapenos, and they will each have their own distinct flavor. I use chile peppers in a vast variety of recipes. If you mean peppercorns, green peppercorns are often found in a brine and can be used like capers. Pink peppercorns are kind of their own thing. They are more rare but can be crushed or ground and used like black peppercorns. Hope that helps!

[@georgebowman1060]

When would you use pink fruity peppercorns??

[@IWantToCook]

Great question. Short answer is, any way you'd like to. They are great as seasoning in more delicate dishes, like fish, butter sauces, and even some desserts. Pink peppercorns are not as harsh tasting as black peppercorns, so they are ideal when you want something a bit more subtle, yet still have that peppery goodness.

[@danr1920]

White pepper is alleged to be one of the main and distinctive ingredients in KFC chicken.

[@IWantToCook]

How cool is that!

[@asprywrites]

Why 3:51 is this?

[@IWantToCook]

I think whole white pepper is harder to find (at least in the United States) because there is far less demand for it. I’d wager many people don’t really know much about white pepper in general - thus the reason for this video 😀

Pepper comes from Malaysia ie native to Sarawak, Malaysia.

Black pepper has more flavour, white pepper is more spicy. I like to throw black pepper on a finished dish, but not white pepper.

I find white pepper to be stronger, recipes usually ask for les than black

Does powdered white pepper supposed to smell like chicken manure? Thanks in advance !

[@IWantToCook]

Hmmm. Not to my nose. Maybe it’s the brand?

[@tatiana_7767]

That is exactly how it smells to me and I had the same question. Either all while pepper have the smell of chicken manure and some people don’t feel it, or I just purchased the bad one. I purchased my white pepper from Spice Island brand here in the US. Any opinion on that brand and white pepper smelling different for some people?

White pepper tastes better on meat...just ba different taste although they taste very similar.

[@liajohnson4841]

White is not more 'mellow' than black, what is he saying

[@EhsanMusic]

Meaning it has a less "punch" or slight heat kick compared to black pepper.
