I was looking for sichuan Peppercorn, hua jiao for the past few weeks. I was told at three markets and at two herbal shops that the fda was put a ban on importation of sichuan peppercorn, hua jiao (Xantho-whatever). Checking out the FDA website, there seems to be some question over a compound present in the peppercorn, naturally, but the stores and herbalist led me to believe this was a temporary ban.
Sansho, Japanese prickly ash is taken from bark and leaves of the same (or very similar) plant and I think you can still that.
Does anybody have any info?
