Szechuan Pepper - Whole 75g Jar

Introducing... Szechuan (or Szechwan) Pepper. The first thing you need to know about this interesting pepper is that Szechuan is not actually a peppercorn (it is actually a berry from an Asian bush). Secondly, although this is part of our fiery range, this salt is not as hot and spicy as you may expect - it actually has more citrusy / woodsy notes. Confused? Don't be. This pepper keeps you on your toes but all for good cause. From the most extravagant gourmet dinners to sprinkling on top of a plate of french fries, Szechuan Pepper salt is the missing link that your taste buds have been longing for.

Experiment... this pepper is a mainstay in Chinese and other Asian cuisines. It is perfect in Asian-inspired spice rubs and seasoning blends. Think salt and pepper squid, prawns, dumplings, curries, stir fries, chicken wings, tofu...the list is endless. And we like to use it on Western fare too - roasted veggies, a leg of lamb, steamed fish and burgers.

Why not try... one of our fiery salts. Or one of our smoky salts for something different - Rosemary, Hickory or Habanero. We also have a stunning range of pink and black salts.

Storage conditions... store in a cool, dry place.
