Joyce Chen Sichuan Peppercorn is recommended by Christopher Kimball's Cook's Illustrated, which noted the "pronounced tingling sensation" of our product, and that it "packs a punch." As well, they described it as having "woodsy, clove-like" undertones. These features - citrus and cedar overtones and tingling mouth sensation - make this product a perfect partner with stronger spices in Sichuan dishes.

Guy Fieri of the Food Network's show, "Diners, Drive-ins and Dives" has referred to the explosion of sensation that Sichuan Peppercorn makes in your mouth.

To enhance the flavor, we recommend that you lightly toast a recipe’s portion in a dry saucepan. Sichuan Peppercorn adds flavor to a variety of recipes, including our Dan Dan Spicy Peanut Sauce. It’s also may used to add a unique flavor to homemade pickles.

Joyce Chen Sichuan Peppercorn is available online and in stores (see links below). If your local retailer does not carry this product and you would like them to, we recommend that you submit the Store Request Letter (below).

In some instances, Sichuan is spelled Szechuan.
