Szechuan Timut Pepper Organic

Some background of Szechuan Timut Pepper

Szechuan pepper, named after the Chinese province of Sichuan which is known for its spicy cuisine, is a spice used in Chinese cuisine as well as in the kitchens of Tibet, Bhutan, Nepal, Japan and the Konkani, a tribe in India. When eaten, it produces a tingling, narcotic effect due to the presence of the substance hydroxy-alpha-sanshol in the peppercorn. It may be called that, but timut pepper is not related to black pepper or chili pepper.

The Cultivation of Szechuan Timut Pepper

Nepalese farmers harvest the timut berries when they are fully ripe and red. Because of this, timut berries have a spicy and somewhat woody smell and taste with a refreshing citrus undertone.
