For White Pepper, the berry is picked when fully ripe; the outer layer of skin is removed, leaving the dried, whitish-gray kernel.  White Pepper has a milder, more delicate flavor than Black Pepper.  White Pepper is used whole in pickling spices and marinades.  Ground White Pepper is used in light colored foods, such as sauces and soups and is especially popular in European cuisine.  White Pepper is obtained primarily from Indonesia, Malaysia and Brazil.  In addition to its use as a spice, White Pepper is used medicinally as an aromatic, stimulant and carminative to ease digestive complaints such as dyspepsia, constipation, nausea and flatulence.  White Pepper is also viewed as a general digestive aid.  It has also been used in the treatment of gonorrhea, vertigo and arthritis.
