1. Sichuan pepper has zero heat and is not spicy at all! People confuse it because it is often paired with chili peppers and chili is the one that brings the heat
2. Sichuan pepper is not a pepper, it belongs to the citrus family
3. Sichuan “peppercorn” is a common misnomer because these dried Sichuan peppers are not peppercorn. They’re the dried husk of the Sichuan pepper berry. A sign of superior quality is the lack of black seeds.
4. Sichuan pepper is not just from Sichuan, but from a collection of places in southwestern China: Chongqing, Sichuan, Yunnan, Gansu, etc.
5. We believe that the correct name for it is actually Flower Pepper which is a direct translation from the chinese term hua jiao.
So amazing. The best you can get.
I’m a bit of a sichuan food fanatic but it’s always a bit of a gamble buying Sichuan pepper because the quality varies so much, even from the same brand. 50 Hertz has changed all that because the product is so fresh and so vibrant every time and the aroma and flavour is unlike anything else I’ve tried. Fabulous!
Super high quality, and real, fresh food! Love the vegetal, citrus and tingly sensations of green Sichuan peppers!

I have long been a fan of Sichuan food. I love the spice and I love the numbness and tingle that results from Sichuan peppers. However, I had never heard of 50 Hertz Tingly foods until about 6 weeks ago at a wine festival in Richmond, Virginia. I bought one can of the peanuts and a set of the oils on site and absolutely loved them. I had to purchase another set of peanuts, in addition, to the peppers themselves. I took the ones left from my first can of peanuts and added it to some lo mein with a bit of the oil. It was sooooo good. I plan to continue finding ways to incorporate the tingle in my meals! Very satisfied customer x2
We bought two cans of peanuts after reading about them in Food & Wine magazine and immediately re-ordered (plus other items, too). Absolutely delicious and addictive!
I can get behind unique flavors but this was too much. These might be perfect for a gag gift store. The sensation lasts for minutes and the flavor is unpleasant.
Hi Hannah,
Thank you for giving our Tingly Sichuan Pepper Peanuts a try—and for taking the time to share your feedback!
We totally understand that the numbing sensation of Sichuan pepper isn’t for everyone. It’s a bold and unfamiliar experience for many, and that tingle is exactly what makes it such a beloved ingredient in Sichuan cuisine. That said, we’re sorry to hear it didn’t hit the mark for you.
Our goal is to introduce adventurous eaters to this unique and authentic flavor, but we recognize it may not be to every palate. We truly appreciate your willingness to try something new and hope you’ll explore other flavors in the future that might be a better fit.
Thank you again for your feedback—it helps us grow.
Warmly,
The 50Hertz Tingly Foods Team
