Tasting Szechuan peppercorn in any dish is quite the experience, especially with the way the flavor hits your tastebuds with a tingly feeling that almost numbs the mouth. This is caused by the hydroxy-alpha-sanshool molecules present in the peppercorns that trigger receptors in your lips and mouth. Initially bitter to the taste, it gives off a numbing heat and then releases a citrusy flavor. FOR A NUMBING, TINGLING SENSATION

The Sichuan peppercorn (hua jiao) originates from the Northern Chinese province of the same name and has been used traditionally for centuries. Coming from the Chinese prickly ash tree, the peppercorn itself is unrelated to peppers. It's more of a dark pink berry with black seeds. Our jar of Szechuan peppercorn has more of the flavorful husks and less of the tasteless black seeds. AN AUTHENTIC ASIAN TASTE
