Density 88 · -5 vs Spices & herbs medianGround fine and used by the pinch, white pepper still posts a strong per-calorie profile of 88 of 100, a Strong band ranking 41 of 60 in Spices & herbs. Dietary fiber tops the list at 94% DV, with iron close behind at 79% DV.
It's used to season pale sauces and soups where black flecks would show, and a typical serving is just a teaspoon of ground pepper, about 2 g. Because the %DV figures are calculated per 100 g and a real serving is a fraction of that, the practical nutrient contribution from a shake or two is modest; ground allspice is another spice worth comparing on this list.
