SHORT DESCRIPTION

Sichuan pepper is very popular because of its unusual aroma. Barely noticeable at first, after a few seconds it literally explodes on the tongue and is also slightly lemony and woody. The spice is popular in Chinese cuisine for meat dishes and as an ingredient in "five spice powder".

USE

The delicate aromas of Sichuan pepper are best when freshly ground or freshly chopped. Its versatility is evident in both savory and sweet dishes, from spicy soups to aromatic sauces and sweet desserts. This makes Sichuan pepper an indispensable element in Asian cuisine, pampering the palate with a symphony of flavors. Dishes prepared with this spice include hot pot and spicy beef.

GOOD TO KNOW

Sichuan pepper contains hydroxy-alpha-sanshool, a compound that causes a short-term, numbing tingling sensation in the mouth. This unique sensory characteristic makes Sichuan pepper so special and intensifies the flavor of your dishes.

TASTE

The first taste impressions include a refreshing citrus note that enlivens the palate. This initial hint of freshness transitions seamlessly into warm, woody tones that give Sichuan pepper a profound complexity. But what really sets this spice apart is its slightly numbing, tingling heat that pleasantly challenges the senses.
