What is seasoning? The true nature of the "numbing" sensation of mala [spicy and numbing flavor]【Basic Knowledge】

What is the difference between the spiciness and numbing sensation created by chili peppers and Sichuan peppercorns in "mala"?

■ What is seasoning in the first place? Seasoning refers to a "flavoring powder" made by mixing salt, spices, and herbs. It is actually used in many familiar foods, such as consomme-flavored potato chips, seaweed salt, butter soy sauce flavor, and plum or wasabi-flavored rice crackers. ■ What is the difference between "spicy" and "numbing"? The stimulation from capsaicin found in chili peppers is what we describe as "spicy," while the stimulation from Sichuan peppercorns creates a different sensation known as "numbing." The combination of these two flavors is called mala, resulting in a strong seasoning that highlights the individuality of both chili peppers and Sichuan peppercorns. ■ I see, seasoning can be created through consultation! At our company, we listen to our customers' vague ideas of "this kind of flavor" and consider the ingredients to create samples for tasting, collaboratively exploring the ideal flavor during product development. Consultations and estimates are free, so please feel free to reach out to us.
