White pepper grows in tropical Asian countries. Black pepper and white pepper both come from the same plant. But they are prepared differently. Black pepper is made by cooking the dried unripe fruit. White pepper is made by cooking and drying the ripe seeds.
People take white pepper by mouth for upset stomach, malaria, a bacterial infection that causes diarrhea (cholera), and cancer.
People apply white pepper to the skin to reduce pain.
White pepper is added to foods and drinks to add flavor.
White pepper essential oil is used in aromatherapy.
How does work?
White pepper contains a chemical called piperine. This chemical seems to have many effects in the body. It seems to reduce pain, improve breathing, and reduce inflammation. Piperine also seems to improve brain function, but it is not clear how.

QUESTION
Next to red peppers, you can get the most vitamin C from ________________. See AnswerWhite pepper is LIKELY SAFE when taken by mouth in amounts commonly found in foods.
White pepper is POSSIBLY SAFE when taken by mouth appropriately as medicine. White pepper might have a burning aftertaste. Taking large amounts of white pepper by mouth, which can accidentally get into the lungs, has been reported to cause death. This is especially true in children.
Pregnancy: White pepper is LIKELY SAFE when taken by mouth in amounts commonly found in foods. There isn't enough reliable information available to know if taking white pepper as medicine or applying white pepper oil to the skin is safe while pregnant.Breast-feeding: White pepper is LIKELY SAFE when taken by mouth in amounts commonly found in foods. There isn't enough reliable information available to know if taking white pepper as medicine is safe while breast-feeding.
Children: White pepper is LIKELY SAFE when taken by mouth in amounts commonly found in foods. It is POSSIBLY UNSAFE when taken by mouth in large amounts.
Bleeding conditions: Piperine, a chemical in white pepper, might slow blood clotting. In theory, taking white pepper in amounts greater than those in food might increase the risk of bleeding in people with bleeding disorders.
Diabetes: White pepper might affect blood sugar levels. In theory, taking white pepper in amounts greater than those in food might affect blood sugar control in people with diabetes. Dosing adjustments for diabetes medications might be needed.
Surgery: Piperine, a chemical in white pepper, might slow blood clotting and affect blood sugar levels.
