This product is Everest White Pepper Powder ("Safed Mirchi"), marketed as being of "Finest quality, pure White Pepper Powder". Unlike the common black pepper, white pepper is made from fully ripened peppercorns that have had the outer skin removed, resulting in a milder, smoother, and slightly earthy flavor. Its light color is a primary characteristic, making it ideal for white or light-colored dishes such as creamy soups, mashed potatoes, Béchamel sauce, and continental recipes where the dark specks of black pepper are undesirable for aesthetic reasons. White pepper is extensively used in both North Indian vegetarian cuisine for warmth and pungency, and in South Indian non-vegetarian preparations. The spice is also noted for potential health benefits, including aiding in digestion, stimulating metabolism, and having anti-inflammatory properties. The box is dark, highlighting the contrast with the light color of the pepper powder and peppercorns.
