Zanthoxylum acanthopodium |
Much like the closely related Sichuan pepper (Z. bungeanum), the seed pericarps are used as spices in cooking and have a similar tongue-numbing characteristic. However, in cooking, the flavour of andaliman has lemon-like notes (similar to those of lemon-grass) as well as a hint of the aromatic pandan leaf.
