White pepper has the heat but not the bouquet of black pepper. Often chosen for light colored soups and sauces.Made by removing the black seed coat. Add to any recipe. Often used in sauces, mashed potatoes and other culinary preparations for its hot spicy flavor.
White pepper consists of only the inner seed with the pericarp, removed by soaking and rubbing or by decorticating when dry. To make white pepper, the berry is picked fully ripe. Its outer shrunken skin is rubbed off, exposing the dried, grayish-white pepper inside. White pepper has a milder, more delicate flavor than black pepper, and is useful for adding a peppery flavor to light-colored sauces and soup without adding black color. More expensive white pepper is hotter than black because it contains more piperine, the volatile oil that gives pepper its characteristic flavor. White pepper contains slightly less essential oil than black pepper. It is preferred in Europe, especially France, and is now popular in Japan for sukiyaki. White pepper stimulates the taste buds in such a way that an alert is sent to the stomach to increase hydrochloric acid secretion, thereby improving digestion. Pepper is an excellent source of manganese, a very good source of iron and vitamin K, and a good source of dietary fiber. White pepper has long been recognized as a carminative, (a substance that helps prevent the formation of intestinal gas), a property likely due to its beneficial effect of stimulating hydrochloric acid production. In addition, white pepper has diaphoretic (promotes sweating), and diuretic (promotes urination) properties.
Heeng Powder is a Natural herb used in curing stomach and digestive problems. This spice is used as a digestive aid, in food as a condiment, and in pickles. It typically works as a flavor enhancer an used along with turmeric is a standard component of Indian recipes such as dal (a legume curry) and the spiced potatoes that are eaten with dosas. In its pure form, its odor is so strong the aroma will contaminate other spices stored nearby if it is not stored in an airtight container.
Heeng powder is very potent and only very little is required in cooking as compared to others. Its odor and flavor become much milder and more pleasant upon heating in oil or ghee acquiring a taste and aroma reminiscent of sauted onion and garlic. It has a unique pungent flavor and strong bitter taste. Gum Arabica acts as fixative and holds the smell for longer. Even though the smell of the heeng is not pleasant on its own but when in cooking it mixes with the fatty acids of either ghee or the cooking oil, it imparts very mild and pleasant smell. It reduces the growth of indigenous micro-flora in the gut reducing flatulence
