$10.00USD
Chinese Sichuan pepper, also known as "huajiao," is a distinctive spice renowned for its unique numbing and tingling sensation on the palate. Harvested from the prickly ash tree in the Sichuan region, this peppercorn is a staple in Chinese cuisine, particularly in Sichuan dishes. Characterized by its small, reddish-brown husks and citrusy aroma, Yongji Sichuan pepper imparts a complex flavor profile that combines spicy heat with floral, lemony undertones. Used whole, crushed, or ground, it enhances stir-fries, soups, and sauces, making it an essential ingredient for creating authentic and bold Chinese flavors.
