Unit price perSichuan Peppercorn, also known as Sichuan Black Pepper or Chinese prickly ash, is a distinctive spice, native to Sichuan province, China. Unlike black pepper or chilli, which belong to the families of completely different plants, the Sichuan Peppercorn, the Citrus family, come from the genus zanthoxylum in Rutaceae. This botanical difference gives them a unique taste profile and culinary characteristics that distinguish them from other commonly used spices.
The masala is prized for its aromatic exterior husk, which creates a sour, slight wood taste and a characteristic tingling or numb sensation on the tongue. The internal black seeds are usually removed before use, as it can provide a bitter taste, leaving the husk to provide a signature aroma and mouthfeel. This unique combination of taste and sensation makes Sichuan Peppercorn an identity of authentic Sichuan recipes, where they are often combined with chilli to make a famous rosary (numb-spicy) taste.
Sichuan peppercorn is versatile in cooking, stir-fries, braises, soup, sauce and spice mixtures. Their sour taste complement meat, seafood and vegetable dishes, while the numbness combines a sensory experience for this spice.
Beyond its culinary appeal, Sichuan Peppercorn has a long history in traditional medicine, assisting digestion and stimulating circulation. Carefully sourced from quality fields, these peppercorn brings an authentic taste and a touch of foreign culinary tradition to its kitchen, which transforms everyday food into delicious experiences.
