Description
Zanthoxylum armatum
New to gourmet kitchens, a stylish false pepper from the same family as Szechwan pepper. Originating in Nepal, it has a quite extraordinary citrus aroma with hints of grapefruit. Mild and lingering, with a tingling and numbing effect on the tongue and the lips. Mix into a mayonnaise to serve with prawns, add to stocks, use with seafood and in cakes with exotic fruit. A recent introduction of exceptional quality which is rapidly becoming a must-have for every cook! Grind with a pestle and mortar rather than a peppermill.
