Spice Supreme Pure Ground White Pepper
The Spice Supreme Ground White Pepper is an essential spice for any kitchen, particularly valued for its distinct flavor and its ability to add heat without altering the colour of your dishes.
Spice Supreme is a reliable brand in the Nigerian market, ensuring you get a consistent, high-quality product.
🧂 Flavor Profile and Unique Uses
White pepper is processed differently from black pepper, resulting in distinct characteristics:
Processing: It is made from fully ripened pepper berries that have had the dark outer skin removed through soaking and fermentation, leaving only the light-colored inner seed.
Flavor Profile: It is generally milder in heat compared to black pepper. Its flavor is often described as earthy, warm, and slightly musty, with fewer of the bright, pungent, and sharp notes found in black pepper.
Culinary Purpose: Its primary use is aesthetic and flavor-balancing:
Light-Colored Dishes: It is the ideal choice for white sauces (like Béchamel), creamy soups (like Chowder), mashed potatoes, and pasta sauces where you want to avoid the black specks of ground black pepper.
Asian Cuisine: It is a core seasoning in many Chinese, Vietnamese, and Thai dishes.
Meat and Poultry: Excellent for seasoning chicken, fish, and light-colored marinades where a subtle warmth is desired.
📝 Product Details
Size: The Spice Supreme Ground White Pepper is commonly sold in small shaker bottles, typically 56g or 70g.
Quality: Ensures a fine grind and pure pepper content for a strong, reliable flavor.
