White pepper is harvested when the berries are fully ripe and red, whereas black pepper is harvested unripe and green. Then they are soaked in water for week or so to ferment, which softens and eventually removes the outer skin. Only the pale inner seed remains, which is then dried. Black peppers are fermented and then sun-dried, which causes the outer skin to darken and wrinkle. This skin is left intact, giving black pepper its bold, wrinkled appearance.
