Szechuan Peppercorns

Szechuan Peppercorns unlike like anything you have ever tasted before! They are milder than regular peppercorns, but have a different kind of spicy flavor that leaves your mouth tingling. An integral part of any Chinese dish, Szechuan Peppercorns only became once again legal for import 10 years ago.  Traditionally, Szechuan Peppercorns are meant to be toasted before being ground to enhance their woody flavors and heighten their pairing with meat. After toasting, try grinding and adding these peppercorns to our Chinese Five Spice Blend for a surprising spiciness in rubs for chicken and pork.  You can also find Szechuan Peppercorns in our 7-Blend Whole Peppercorn mix!
