Culinary uses
Schezuan pepper figures prominently in spicy Sichuan cuisine. It has an alkaline pH and a numbing effect on the lips when eaten in larger doses.
Duck and chicken dishes in particular work well with the spice. Hua jiao yen is a mixture of salt and Szechwan pepper, roasted and browned in a wok and served as a condiment to accompany chicken, duck and pork dishes.
Health Benefits
1) Stimulates the taste buds in such a way that an alert is sent to the stomach to increase hydrochloric acid secretion, thereby improving digestion.
2) Is an excellent source of manganese, a very good source of iron and vitamin K, and a good source of dietary fiber.
3) Has long been recognized as a carminitive, (a substance that helps prevent the formation of intestinal gas), a property likely due to its beneficial effect of stimulating hydrochloric acid production. In addition, the pepper has diaphoretic (promotes sweating), and diuretic (promotes urination) properties.
