The history of the spice trade is, above all, the history of pepper, the \'King of Spices\'. It has been moving westward from India for 4,000 years. Black pepper, along with other spices from South and Southeast Asia, changed the course of world history. It was in some part the preciousness of these spices that led to the Portuguese efforts to find a sea route to India. Peppercorns were a much-prized trade good, often referred to as \"black gold\" and used as a form of commodity money.
Because of its color, white pepper is ideal for use in white sauces, pasta salads and seafood dishes. White pepper retains the full pungency of black pepper, but has an altered flavour due to partial loss of aroma compounds.White pepper starts out the same as the black, but is allowed to ripen more fully on the vine, while black pepper is made from green berries. The outer shell is then removed either by soaking the berries in water until the shell falls off, or by placing them under flowing spring water, yielding a whiter, cleaner pepper.
