Szechuan Pepper (syn. Szechwan) is a spice obtained from the seeds of a species of rue known as Chinese Prickly Ash that is native to China and Taiwan. It is a staple in Asian cuisine, especially in chicken, duck and pork dishes.
Szechuan cuisine is notable for its use of whole cayenne peppers. Cayenne is also used medicinally for centuries. One seventeenth century account of this use is Nicholas Culpeper's Complete Herbal. Also, cayenne pepper is used in creams to increase circulation and in teas to soothe sore throats.
