Whole Timut Pepper from Nepal - The Spice with Citrus Notes

🌿 Why choose our Whole Timut Pepper from Nepal?
Timut Pepper , also known as Timur berry, is a rare spice originating from the foothills of the Himalayas, mainly cultivated in Nepal. Although called "pepper", it belongs to the Rutaceae family (like citrus fruits) and not to that of true peppers. Its red, bumpy berries give off a captivating fragrance of pink grapefruit , with floral and woody notes. Its taste is slightly pungent, lemony, and leaves a slightly numbing sensation on the tongue, similar to Sichuan pepper.
