Whole peppercorn bulk density ~0.48 g/ml; 4.93 ml ≈ 2.4 g.
Instead of White peppercorn
Black peppercornUse the same weight; it is more earthy and pungent, so use 10% less if you want a gentler heat.
Ground white pepperUse 80% of the weight of whole peppercorns; add near the end as the aroma fades with long cooking.
Cracked peppercornUse the same weight; it gives a coarser texture, so crush lightly if the recipe wants whole spice.
