About: Uzazi

An Entity of Type: Chemical114806838, from Named Graph: http://dbpedia.org, within Data Space: dbpedia.org

The term Uzazi refers to the dried fruit of the West African deciduous shrub Zanthoxylum gilletii, syn. Fagara tessmannii, a member of the 'prickly ash' Zanthoxylum genus. The name of the spice is derived from Igbo, a language in Nigeria, where the spice is grown and harvested on a commercial basis. Zanthoxylum gilletii is a close relative of the Sichuan pepper, and uzazi has a similar taste profile to the Asian spice. However, unlike Sichuan pepper where only the pericarp of the fruit is used, uzazi is used whole (both pericarp and seed). This may explain why uzazi has a spicier flavour and greater pungency than sichuan pepper.

  • El término Uzazi se refiere al fruto seco del arbusto caducifolio Zanthoxylum tessmannii, syn. Fagara tessmannii, un miembro del 'fresno espinoso' de la familia Rutaceae. El nombre de la especia se deriva de Igbo, un lenguaje en Nigeria, donde la especie se cultiva y se cosecha en forma comercial. Zanthoxylum tessmannii es un pariente cercano de la pimienta de Sichuan, y el Uzazi tiene un perfil de sabor similar a la especie asiática. Sin embargo, a diferencia de pimienta Sichuan donde sólo se utiliza el pericarpio de la fruta, el uzazi se utiliza (tanto pericarpio y semilla). Esto puede explicar por qué el uzazi tiene un sabor más picante y una mayor acritud que la pimienta de Sichuan.Incluso en África Occidental esta es una especia rara, y la normalmente sólo cinco o seis frutas secas se añaden a un plato.
