Sichuan Peppercorns
Known for their signature numbing-tingling sensation, Sichuan Peppercorns (Huājiāo) are a cornerstone of Chinese regional cuisine, especially in Sichuan and Chongqing hot pots and stir-fries. These reddish-brown husks deliver a bright, citrusy aroma and a buzzing sensation that awakens the palate and heightens flavor contrast.
In Traditional Chinese Medicine, Sichuan peppercorns are recognized for their ability to warm the middle burner, expel cold, and stimulate the appetite. They’re also believed to support the digestive system and kill parasites.
