Himalayan Timmur — Whole Szechuan Pepper Berries (टिम्मुर)

This is Timmur in its purest, most potent 
form. Whole wild Szechuan pepper berries, 
hand-harvested from the forests and hills 
of Nepal, dried naturally, and packed 
without any processing by RDK Organic 
House in Kathmandu.

When you hold a jar of these berries and 
look at them through the glass — small, 
dark, intensely aromatic — you are looking 
at one of the most extraordinary spices 
grown anywhere on earth. Timmur is the 
defining spice of Nepali cuisine. It is 
what makes momo achaar taste the way it 
does. It is what gives Nepali sekuwa its 
character. It is the spice that Nepali 
grandmothers reach for before anything 
else.

The whole berry form is preferred by 
serious cooks for one reason: control. 
Grind what you need, when you need it. 
The moment a Timmur berry is crushed 
its volatile oils begin to dissipate. 
By keeping them whole until the moment 
of use, you preserve the full intensity 
of that extraordinary citrusy, floral, 
numbing aroma that makes this spice 
so remarkable.

Internationally, Himalayan Szechuan 
pepper has become one of the most 
sought-after ingredients among chefs 
and food enthusiasts who have discovered 
that Nepali Timmur carries a more complex 
and nuanced character than its Chinese 
counterpart — more floral, more citrusy, 
with a gentler but longer-lasting numbing 
effect.

Use whole berries to temper in hot oil 
at the beginning of cooking. Crush 
lightly in a mortar for momo achaar, 
pickles, and marinades. Toast and grind 
for a finishing spice over noodles, 
eggs, and vegetables. Or simply chew 
a single berry and experience the most 
remarkable thing a spice has ever done 
to your tongue.
