About this Spice

Szechuan Peppercorns, sometimes spelled as Sichuan, are fragrant, slightly woody with a hint of citrus. When you bite into a Szechuan peppercorn, you taste an immediate citrus flavor, followed by a slight numbing effect which bursts into a tingling sensation on your tongue. This sensation is caused by an enzyme releasing, thus waking up your mouth and intensifying all the flavors.
