Red Sichuan Pepper (0.5 oz)

This product is not currently available.

Red Sichuan Pepper is hua jiao in Chinese, or "flower pepper." Despite its name, it isn't related to black pepper or chile pepper; it's the outer pod of berries in the prickly ash family. Its distinct flavor is woody, pungent and slightly citrusy from a unique essential oil. It creates a tingly sensation on the palate, and its effect, combined with the heat of chilis, is known as ma la in Sichuan cooking - "numbing and spicy."

Here's what you get:

  • 0.5 oz of Red Sichuan Peppercorns
