This is a #Macro #Photography image of dried 花椒or Huājiāo, or #Sichuan #Peppercorns. Native to the Sichuan region of #China, the #husk of the #berry has flavor akin to #citrus and #juniper and producing a #tingling sensation on the #tongue, making its #Chinese name “tongue-#numbing #spice.”
It is considered to be a flavor independent of the “five #flavor” model or sweet/sour/bitter/sweet/umami in some East #Asian #cooking.
Some #cultures acknowledge as many as 8 or 16 “flavors.”

A #macophotography shot of #Sichuanpeppercorns, which are native to the #Sichuan region of #China and is used in China and elsewhere as a #seasoning. Called #Huājiāo in Sichuan, the actual dried, black #berry is #tasteless and useless. All the #flavor is in the dried #husk of the #berry, which has a #spicy, #juniper, #citrus flavor and induces some #numbness in the #tongue.
The many #colors of the husks and berries are very dramatic.
