Black pepper, which is picked when the pepper is about to ripen, is dried. So the shell is black with folds. The aroma is more intense than that of white pepper.
White pepper is a granule that is picked after ripening and hulled. Because of the heavy smell on the shell, the dehulled white pepper tastes milder than the black pepper. However, the spiciness inside the peppercorns, compared to black pepper, is more concentrated.

1． Black pepper can be used in stews, cooking wild game and hot pot, grilled meat and other heavily flavored foods, and black pepper is preferred in Western cuisine. When making black pepper dishes, after grinding the black pepper or grinding the young material, and then adding the black pepper into the dish, you should pay attention to two keys:
(1) The time of cooking with meat should not be too long, because black pepper contains peppers, piperine, volatile oils and fatty oils, and if it is served for too long, the spicy and fragrant flavor will be lost.
(2) Mastering the seasoning concentration and maintaining the heat can make the spicy taste more intense - so the effect is better on the iron plate. In terms of storage method, it is recommended to store in black pepper granules and grind an appropriate amount before use.
2． White pepper is made by peeling and drying mature pepper, the taste is softer than black pepper, and it is more used in Chinese food, such as the very famous pepper soup in Xi'an. White pepper is more fragrant and is an ideal seasoning for cooking fish and braised dishes; it has the effect of detoxification and stomach.
