Poivre du Sichuan Vert séché, 42g (1,5 onces)
All the way from the mountains of Sichuan to this jar in your hand.
Our dried green Sichuan peppers, more accurately known as flower peppers, are tingly, not spicy. Bursting with a zesty, floral aroma, now you can grind and sprinkle this tingling sensation to all kinds of food and drinks.
Our premium single-origin green Sichuan peppers have been hand-picked by our farmers in Sichuan, gently dried, and manually sorted. This results in:
No black seeds | Bright colors | Potent aroma and sensation
Flavor notes: Lemon zest | Bright | Aromatic & Bold
Perfect on:
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!
