SICHUAN GREEN PEPPER
Sichuan green peppercorns (Zanthoxylum simulans / aromatic spice), a spice with fresh, slightly lemony, and subtly spicy notes, is ideal for enhancing sauces, fish, meats, sautéed vegetables, and exotic dishes. Prized for its stimulating and digestive properties, it adds freshness, intensity, and character to all your dishes. Made from natural ingredients, it guarantees a unique aroma and carefully selected quality.
We call him «Poivre,» but Sichuan green pepper is actually a peppery berry which grows on a shrub called Clavalier. It gets its name from the Sichuan region of China.
Its aroma is reminiscent of lime or green tea—very fresh. Its exceptionally long finish and the temporary numbing sensation it creates on the tongue are truly unique. Use it sparingly on meat or fish, or even in rice, to add a subtle Asian touch to your dishes. Sichuan pepper is also excellent for use in foie gras, where it helps balance the richness.
Did you know? In traditional Chinese medicine, Sichuan pepper was once known for its beneficial effects in treating dysentery.
