Sansho (Japanese Pepper)

Sansho (Japanese Pepper) is a citrusy, slightly numbing spice from Japan used in traditional Japanese cooking — particularly with grilled fish, noodle dishes and sauces — and comes from the seeds and husks of Zanthoxylum piperitum. It’s prized for its bright aroma and mild tingling sensation rather than for bulk seasoning. Nutritionally it’s concentrated: while spices are used in small amounts, per 100 g Sansho contains notable amounts of fiber (26.5g) and micronutrients such as vitamin K and trace minerals. It also contains plant compounds with antioxidant properties that contribute to its distinctive flavor and potential health benefits. Because Sansho is a potent spice used sparingly, its calories and macronutrients aren’t usually a dietary concern; think of it primarily as a flavoring ingredient that can add aroma and complexity with very small amounts.Read more
