Black, white, and pink peppercorns

Black, white, and pink peppercorns all come from the same plant, but the difference between them lies in the way they are processed after being harvested. Black peppercorns are black in color and have a hot and strong taste, because they are dried with their outer shell. As for white peppercorns, their outer shell is removed after they are soaked, so that they have a lighter and sweeter taste. Pink peppercorns are picked before they ripen and are dried, so that they have a pink color and a sweet and fruity taste with a little bit of acidity. Each type of peppercorn is used in different dishes to give a distinctive flavor and color.
