MONSIEUR MARCEL SZECHUAN PEPPERCORNS 0.85oz

Szechuan peppercorn is a spice produced from the husks of seeds of two species of the prickly ash shrub (Zanthoxylum), which is in the rue or citrus family. The pinkish-red husks around the seeds are used for the Sichuan peppercorn spice, while the inner black seed is discarded as it is too gritty and would be sand-like when eaten. Szechuan peppercorns can be used whole or ground into powder, and are used in many Szechuan dishes.
