Pepper, white

White pepper is a dried spice made from the seeds of ripe pepper plant berries after the outer covering has been removed. It provides fibre, protein and minerals, including calcium and iron. Per 100g, it contains 26g of fibre, 10g of protein, 270mg of calcium and 14mg of iron.

Fibre supports normal bowel function, while calcium helps maintain bones and teeth. Iron is needed to make haemoglobin, which carries oxygen in the blood. White pepper is generally used in small amounts as a seasoning, so its contribution to nutrient intake is much smaller than the amounts shown per 100g suggest.
