Green Sichuan pepper, also known as Chinese green peppercorn, dried green prickly ash, and Szechuan green peppercorn, is the fruit of the Zanthoxylum armatum DC Prodr. armatum, which belongs to the Rutaceae family. The surface of its fruit is dotted with oil cells, which contain volatile oils and amide substances. It is the only ingredient that provides a numbing flavor and has a history of culinary use in China that spans over a thousand years, making it one of the most traditional Chinese seasonings. Green Sichuan pepper is mainly found in regions such as Sichuan and Yunnan in China.
Green Sichuan pepper contains volatile oils and amide substances. The volatile oils are composed of natural terpenes, alcohols, esters, and other compounds, which mainly provide the fragrance. The amide substances consist of various sanshool compounds, which primarily contribute to the numbing sensation. This numbing sensation is similar to the spiciness of chili peppers, but it is more of a tingling or prickling sensation.
