About Timur (Nepalese pepper)

Timur is a dried aromatic fruit used as a spice in Nepal and neighbouring Himalayan regions. It is commonly sold whole or ground and added in small amounts to season foods; the name is also used for related regional spices, so products may not be identical.

The small, wrinkled husks are usually brownish and have a citrus-like, resinous aroma with a distinctive tingling, numbing sensation. Ground material is more convenient but loses aroma more readily than intact husks. Nutrition comparisons should account for whether the sample is whole dried husk or ground spice, and for any blended product.
