White pepper consists of only the inner seed with the pericarp removed by soaking and rubbing or by decorticating when dry. Its outer shrunken skin is rubbed off, exposing the dried, grayish-white pepper inside. Due to the anti-oxidant properties of pepper, it would promote the circulation of blood and oxygen in the skin making it more energized and fresh looking. It offers a tangy and spicy flavour when added to the preparations. White pepper is sharp in its taste and also has a pungent aroma.
