Szechuan Peppercorns

Szechuan Peppercorns are the dried reddish-brown berry husks of the prickly ash tree, which is indigenous to the Central Chinese Szechuan province. This area is known worldwide for its spicy cuisine, and Szechuan Peppercorns are central to these culinary traditions. They have a citrusy and slightly wood-infused pepper flavor with a moderate heat that has a mild numbing effect on the lips and tongue.
