Nepali Timur, also known as Zanthoxylum armatum or Sichuan pepper, is a highly aromatic spice native to the Himalayan region. It has a unique citrusy flavor with a mild numbing and tingling effect on the tongue, making it a key ingredient in Nepali and Tibetan cuisines. Timur is commonly used in pickles, chutneys, meat dishes, and spice blends to enhance their flavor with its bold, zesty taste. Apart from its culinary uses, Timur is also known for its medicinal benefits, including aiding digestion, relieving pain, and having antibacterial properties.

Key Features:
Flavor and Aroma: Nepali Timur has a unique flavor profile characterized by citrusy, peppery, and slightly numbing sensations. It has a distinct aromatic quality, often described as a combination of lemon, black pepper, and pine.
