➤ DESCRIPTION
Sichuan pepper is a spice from the Sichuan cuisine of China’s southwestern Sichuan Province. It has a unique aroma and flavor that is neither hot like chili peppers nor pungent like black pepper. Instead, it has slight lemony overtones and creates a tingly numbness in the mouth due to hydroxy-α-sanshool.
With the slight numbness in the mouth, lemony taste and floral aroma will definitely take off all your dishes!
The Sichuan pepper is not spicy. In fact, it's not pepper at all.
It has a warm and light floral scent and causes a pleasant sensation on the tongue and lips when used in large quantities
It's a weirdly exciting kind of sensation. The feeling is really refreshing.
It is important to note that in small quantities, numbness is not noticeable.
Sichuan Pepper .What is it?
Sichuan pepper is a very common spice in the cuisine of India, China, Tibet, Nepal and Thailand. It is a complex spice, in fact it is closely related to citrus fruits, and not to the typical black pepper beans, as people usually assume.
The whole husk or shell surrounding the seeds is used for gastronomic preparations or can be ground into a powder.
According to legend, Sichuan peppercorns were once intended exclusively for the Chinese emperor.
Sichuan pepper flavor profile
Sichuan pepper is fragrant with delicious notes of pine and lavender along with a slight sweetness of citrus. Aside from its unique taste, what makes Sichuan pepper famous is the numbing sensation it causes.
This is something different from the heat of chili peppers and black peppercorns. Research has shown that its results are actually similar to the results of subjecting the lips to rapid vibrations. It is often combined with chili peppers because some chefs believe that the numbness caused by Sichuan pepper neutralizes their heat.
