Black Pepper: This is made from green berries harvested before they ripen. The berries are sun-dried until the skin forms a wrinkled black layer. The dried berries can then be ground into a fine gray powder.
Green Pepper: Known for its milder flavor, green pepper is made from unripe berries. They can be dried without direct sunlight, used fresh, or preserved.
White Pepper: White pepper is made from ripe berries that have had their flesh removed after soaking in water. “This type of pepper has a mild flavor and is a popular choice in light-colored sauces, as it doesn’t visibly stand out like black pepper.”
Red Pepper: Known for its fruity, sweet flavor, red pepper is made from ripe berries with their red skins left on. “They’re dried using methods similar to those for green pepper.”
