Flavour Profile
Red Sichuan peppercorns deliver a unique combination of warm, earthy, and slightly floral flavours with a citrusy undertone. The active compound hydroxy-alpha sanshool creates the iconic tingling, numbing sensation (麻) on the tongue — a sensation unlike any other spice in the world.
