Did you know?
It is unrelated to pepper: it is the dried husk of a fruit from a tree in the citrus family. It is not hot but leaves a tingling numbness on the tongue, called ma in Chinese. The part used is the red husk, not the black seed inside.
Consumption tip
Even natural produce may carry pesticide residues. Wash fruits and vegetables under plenty of running water and discard the outer leaves of leafy greens. A short soak in vinegar water can also help reduce residues. Where possible, prefer certified organic or good-agricultural-practice products.
