The main difference between white and black pepper is how they are processed. White pepper is made from the seed of the pepper plant with the outer skin removed, while black pepper is made from the whole dried fruit of the plant. White pepper is milder in flavor and is often used in dishes where the appearance of black specks is undesirable. Black pepper has a stronger flavor and is more commonly used in cooking.

White pepper is from exactly the same plant as black pepper (Piper Nigrum), sometimes called "peppercorns". White pepper is actually a black peppercorn, but with the shell removed - this means that white pepper is slightly mellower in taste. White pepper has the advantage that, when used in a dish where ground black pepper would be visible, it can be used for a more aesthetically pleasing result. For example, when black pepper is used to season scrambled eggs, it leaves visible black specks. This can be unnerving to a diner who would not usually expect to find black specks in their food; using white pepper negates this situation without compromising on taste.

White pepper is the same as black pepper, it is just processed to remove the hard dark "shell". It tastes like black pepper, but slightly milder. It is usually used when you do not want the black specks to be visible in the dish, rather than because the flavor is different.
