Timut Pepper, also known as Nepali Sichuan Pepper, is a rare citrus-aromatic spice from Nepal made from the dried fruit husks of Zanthoxylum alatum. Timut Pepper is not a true pepper from Piper nigrum, but a member of the citrus family with a vivid grapefruit-like aroma and a gentle tingling sensation on the tongue.

According to the available product information, Timut Pepper is wild-harvested in the Himalayan region at altitudes of around 2,000 metres. Its bright citrus notes make it especially interesting for fish, seafood, vegetables, curries, desserts, fruit preparations and dark chocolate. For ambitious home cooks, chefs and spice enthusiasts, Timut Pepper offers a distinctive way to add freshness, complexity and aromatic lift to both savoury and sweet dishes.
