Pepper Szechuan 1kg

Pepper Szechuan 1kg is a premium bulk pack of authentic Szechuan peppercorns, renowned for their unique citrusy aroma and distinctive numbing sensation. Unlike typical black pepper, Szechuan pepper is a spice derived from the dried husks of the prickly ash tree’s berries, celebrated for adding a complex, tingling heat and floral, lemony notes to dishes.

This 1kg pack is perfect for commercial kitchens, food manufacturers, caterers, and enthusiasts of Asian cuisine who want to bring genuine Szechuan flavour to stir-fries, hot pots, sauces, and marinades. Known for its bold character and mouth-tingling properties, Szechuan Pepper 1kg is essential for authentic Chinese, particularly Sichuan, cooking.

What is Szechuan Pepper?

Szechuan peppercorns (sometimes spelled Sichuan) come from the husks of the prickly ash tree’s fruit. They are not related to black pepper or chili peppers but are used as a spice in Chinese, Tibetan, and other Asian cuisines. Their signature feature is the tingling, numbing sensation they impart to the palate, known as má (麻) in Chinese, which complements the spicy heat of chili peppers to create the famous mala (麻辣) flavour profile.

The flavour is citrusy, floral, and slightly woody, providing aromatic depth and a unique sensory experience.
