In the heart of China's Sichuan province lies a treasure deeply rooted in the region's rich culinary heritage – Natural Sichuan Pepper. Renowned for its unique flavor profile and captivating numbing sensation, Sichuan Pepper, or Huajiao (花椒) in Chinese, holds a revered place in the world of spices.
Natural Sichuan Pepper, also known as Sichuan Peppercorn, derives its name from the prickly ash tree native to the Sichuan region. Unlike traditional peppercorns, Sichuan Pepper tantalizes the palate with a citrusy aroma and a tingling, mouth-numbing effect that enhances the overall sensory experience of any dish it graces.
What sets Natural Sichuan Pepper apart is not only its flavor but also its journey from tree to table. Cultivated with care and reverence, Sichuan Peppercorns thrive in the region's unique climate and soil, imbuing them with distinct characteristics that reflect the terroir of Sichuan.
At the heart of Sichuan cuisine, Natural Sichuan Pepper plays a starring role in iconic dishes such as Mapo Tofu, Kung Pao Chicken, and Sichuan Hot Pot. Its presence elevates the complexity of flavors, adding depth and dimension to each bite.
Beyond its culinary prowess, Natural Sichuan Pepper holds cultural significance, weaving itself into the fabric of Sichuanese identity. For generations, it has been cherished not only for its taste but also for its medicinal properties, believed to aid digestion and promote overall well-being.

How to pick？
Harvesting Natural Sichuan Pepper requires a certain amount of skill and care to ensure its quality and integrity are maintained. Here are the general steps for picking Natural Sichuan Pepper:
Choose Ripe Fruit: Natural Sichuan Pepper usually ripens in late summer to early fall. Choose fruits that have turned red or dark purple, which usually means they are ripe and will taste best.
Use hand picking: Picking Natural Sichuan Pepper is usually done by hand, which helps maintain the integrity and quality of the fruit. When picking, pick the fruit carefully to avoid damaging the fruit or plant buds. Now there are some tools, such as pepper scissors, that can speed up picking peppers.
Avoid Mixing: During the picking process, ensuring that impurities or fruit from different management areas are not mixed into the picked batch helps maintain the purity and quality of Natural Sichuan Pepper.
Sun or dry: Picked Natural Sichuan Pepper usually needs to be sun or dried to remove excess moisture, which helps extend its shelf life and preserve its flavor. Under appropriate environmental conditions, the fruit can be dried in the sun or in specialized drying equipment.
Storage and Packaging: Once the fruits are completely dry, they can be stored in a dry and ventilated place away from moisture and direct sunlight. To ensure its shelf life and quality, it is usually packaged in airtight packages or containers.
This can be done roughly, sifting out most of the branches, leaves and black seeds to ensure as much pepper skin as possible. This way it can be sealed and stored away from light.
Picking Natural Sichuan Pepper requires careful observation and skill to ensure optimal ripeness and quality of the fruit. By following these steps, producers can ensure that the Natural Sichuan Pepper they harvest retains its unique flavor and texture.
