Best Sellers Low Price Natural Food Seasoning Dried Red Pepper Spice

Sichuan pepper (or Szechuan pepper) is plant fruit which is used as a spice. The outer pods of some species in the genus Zanthoxylum are used to make the spice. Many people in Asia grow them for the spice. Although the plants are called peppers, they are not related to either black pepper or dried chili pepper.

Sichuan pepper has a unique aroma and taste. This taste is quite different from that of black or white pepper powder or chile pepper. It tastes a little like lemon. It also creates a special feeling in the mouth, a kind of numbness.

Sichuan pepper figures prominently in spicy Sichuan food. It goes with fish, duck, and chicken dishes, as well as with fried eggplant. It has an alkaline pH and a numbing effect on the lips when eaten in larger doses. Ma la (Chinese pinyin: málà; literally "numb and hot"), a flavour common in Sichuan cooking, is a combination of Sichuan pepper and chili pepper.
