White Pepper (Piper nigrum)
Whole and ground white pepper with the husk removed — a cleaner, earthier heat for light-coloured sauces, soups and seasoning blends where black specks are not acceptable.
Whole and ground white pepper with the husk removed — a cleaner, earthier heat for light-coloured sauces, soups and seasoning blends where black specks are not acceptable.
White pepper is the ripe Piper nigrum berry with its outer skin removed: the fruit is soaked, the husk rubbed off, then dried. What remains is the pale kernel, which carries the heat but less of the sharp, floral top note of black pepper.
The practical reason buyers specify white pepper is appearance — in cream soups, white sauces, potato products and light-coloured seasoning, black specks are a defect. Vietnamese material dominates volume supply; Hainan supplies a domestic alternative.
Two density grades plus ground, with piperine and colour confirmed per lot.

Container loading varies with product density and packaging — typically 18–24 MT per 20′ container for whole spices and less for low-density herbs and leaf. Final packing, palletisation and container plan are confirmed per order.
A complete export documentation package to support import clearance and buyer due diligence.

It is roughly comparable in piperine but reads differently: white pepper is earthier and more directly pungent, with less of the citrus-pine top note that black pepper carries in its husk. Perceived heat also depends on grind size.
The decortication process is labour- and time-intensive and loses mass — the husk is removed and discarded, and yields are lower. Water use and effluent treatment also add cost at the processing stage.
Our standard MOQ for White Pepper is 1 MT per grade, so a buyer can run a trial lot through their own line before committing to a container. A 20′ container holds roughly 18–24 MT depending on product and packing; a 40′ FCL is quoted on the same basis.
Yes. 200 g–500 g samples of White Pepper are supplied free of charge for evaluation; the buyer covers courier freight, or the sample can travel with the first shipment. Tell us the grade, packing form and destination and we cut the sample from the current lot.
Production runs 25–30 working days from order confirmation, depending on grade, packing and current stock. White Pepper then moves to Qinzhou port, or the port you nominate; ocean transit is quoted per destination when freight is confirmed.
We typically accept T/T (30% deposit, 70% against B/L copy) or L/C at sight for new buyers. Repeat buyers can move to negotiated terms after the first shipments.
Yes. Bag size, carton design and label content can follow your market's rules, and we send a dieline proof before the run starts. Custom packaging starts at 1,000 kg per design.
The standard set is COA, phytosanitary certificate, certificate of origin, commercial invoice, packing list and bill of lading. Pesticide residue, aflatoxin, heavy metal and microbiology reports for White Pepper are issued by third-party labs such as SGS, Eurofins or BV on request. We do not hold an FDA facility registration; for US imports we support your importer's FSVP and prior-notice paperwork with batch-level documents.
