Szechuan Peppercorns are native to Sichuan Provence in china. The aroma is warm, peppery, and fragrant, with a pepper-like flavor that’s slighly numbing. They’re used in many Chinese master stocks, Sichuan hot pot, and Chinese Five Spice powder. They combine with a wide variety of warm spices like fennel and allspice to season fatty meats like pork, duck, and chicken. Add to your pepper blend for a unique flavor.
