Black and White pepper ground: The differences 

How to distinguish black and white pepper ground:

Shelf-life	Longer, up to a year.	Very short, must be eaten fresh
Price	Less expensive	More expensive due to more complex production

To sum up, black pepper has a hotter and spicier taste, while white pepper ground is described to have a milder one. 

White pepper ground is more suitable if you do not want your dishes to have black stains. It makes the dish look smoother and the texture look more even.

Since white pepper is more “exposed” to the air (because it is black pepper with the outer skin removed), it can last shorter than its counterpart. So you should remember to use fresh white pepper ground.
