Szechuan pepper berries are the dried berry of the prickly ash tree. The aroma and flavor of these berries resides in the outer brick-colored husks. The seeds are discarded (except for a few strays) as they are gritty and have a bitter flavor. These berries have a mysterious blended flavor and aroma that is at once woodsy, minty, earthy, eucalyptus-y, citrusy, lavender-y with a cooling sensation. But they are most prized for their mild tingling in the mouth that grows and lingers.
