Sichuan Peppercorns

  • Quality
  • Freshness
  • Global Flavor

Sichuan peppercorns are full of surprises. They're actually seed husks, not peppercorns. They're fragrant and lemony, not purely spicy. They have a numbing effect on the lips and tongue, which opens the taste buds to other sensations. Chinese Sichuan peppercorns are prized in Nepali and Tibetan cuisine. Also available in Sansho Peppercorns.

About This Product

This pepper is native to the Sichuan region of China. It is now cultivated throughout China, Korea, Mongolia, Nepal and Bhutan. More than 2,000 years ago it was mixed with plaster to perfume the walls of imperial palaces. Sichuan peppercorn, or Szechuan Peppercorn, is now a key ingredient in many kinds of Chinese cooking. That numbing sensation you get from an excellent Sichuan dish comes from this pepper. Toast Sichuan peppercorns or toss them into vegetable, seafood or meat dishes. These peppercorns become hotter as they cook.

Long Pepper

Hotter and more complex than traditional black pepper, Long Pepper layers its woody warmth with notes reminiscent of ginger, cinnamon, and nutmeg; grind it over meats and vegetables or simmer it whole in stews for deep, lingering spice.

Green Peppercorns

Bright, fresh, and gently peppery, green peppercorns have a lighter, more herbaceous character than black or white varieties and lend themselves especially well to creamy sauces, seafood, poultry, and classic peppercorn preparations.

Quality product without expensive packaging or shipping

My first order, because I wanted just the "real thing", the Siichuan peppercorns, not a blend or something with salt, and, these are exactly what I wanted. And, the option to get the flat packs and use my own spice jar made it a great deal in terms of no additional costs for shipping something in a container that I didn't even need.

Fresh and worth it!

Freshness is a key for this spice. I have tried others and they do not compare.
