Soeos Sichuan Peppercorns, 16oz(454g), Authentic Szechuan Red Peppercorn, Numbing and Tingle Effect, Less Seeds, Strong Flavor, Essential for Mapo Tofu, Kung Pao Chicken and Asine Cusine

Sichuan pepper's unique aroma and flavour is not hot or pungent like black, white, or chili peppers. Instead, it has slight lemony overtones and creates a tingly numbness in the mouth (caused by its 3% of hydroxy alpha sanshool) that sets the stage for hot spices.. They produce a strange, tingling, buzzing, numbing sensation that is something like the effect of carbonated drinks or of a mild electric currenT. Recipes often suggest lightly toasting the tiny seed pods, then crushing them before adding them to food..
