Sichuan Red-Brown Peppercorns

Description

Sichuan red-brown citrus peppercorns are a delightful surprise for foodies! Essentially, this citrus-flavored marvel belongs to the so-called ‘false peppercorns,’ similar to Andaliman, Timut, Vietnamese, Grapefruit, and Kumeo peppercorns.

Sichuan red-brown peppercorns grow on wild and enormous bushes, and harvesting them is a real challenge. However, they are indispensable in Asian cuisine and are often combined with the hottest chili varieties. Sichuan red-brown peppercorns are characterized by a tongue-tingling flavor and even create a slight numbing sensation on the tip of the tongue.

These peppercorns are ideal for all wok dishes, as well as white meat and fish meals. Combining these peppercorns with cinnamon, fennel, star anise, and cloves creates the popular ‘Chinese Five Spice’ blend.
