Featured in Jeni's Splendid Ice Creams' new Sparkling Cherry Pie Flavor!

Not a true peppercorn, Sichuan pepper is a member of the citrus family that famously creates a numbing and tingling sensation in the mouth. It has a bright, floral flavor it pairs excellently with hot chilies, as exemplified by mapo tofu. Grind finely or use whole in fried chicken, spiced nuts, or oil infusions.
