White peppercorns and black peppercorns are from the same plant. To get the white pepper corns stages,are allowed to ripen and then soaked in water to remove the hulls.black pepper, on the other hand is harvest before its ripen.both peppercorns is used the same way and enchances fresh  or cooked  foods with a lighter and distinct flavouring. I have watch the documentary aired in TV about tthis plant.I was surprised that both came from the same plant.
