WASHINGTON, D.C., November 18, 2025 — A new electric crunch has arrived. From the makers of Tingly Pantry, Tingly Peanuts, Tingly Chocolate, Tingly Brittle, and Tingly Blend, comes a bold new way to snack.
50Hertz Tingly Foods introduces Tingly Cashews, a savory, floral, and gently electric cashew dusted with real green Sichuan pepper and a hint of sweetness.
Entirely plant-based and protein-rich, these vegan-friendly cashews blend global flavors with modern craft and the signature tingle that made 50Hertz a sensory sensation.
Unlike chili-based “spicy” snacks, Tingly Cashews highlight the citrusy buzz of real green Sichuan pepper — a flavor that’s more about the sensory tingle than the burn.
The Story Behind the Tingle
After the success of Tingly Peanuts, 50Hertz set out to expand its nut line — not just to meet demand, but to push flavor boundaries.
Peanuts may be beloved, but allergies can be limiting. Cashews offered a new texture and depth while welcoming snackers who avoid peanuts.
To expand beyond peanuts, 50Hertz set out to create a cashew that carried the same clean, floral buzz that defines the brand — without relying on chili heat. To do that, they partnered with one of China’s leading nut producers known for their precision roasting and flavor consistency.
For a small, craft-driven company like 50Hertz, earning that partnership was a major milestone — and a testament to how far its tingly peanut success has carried the company.
Together, the teams developed a recipe tailored for the American palate: creamy, savory, and bright with the citrusy hum of real green Sichuan pepper.
The result is the Tingly Cashew — a brand-new flavor experience that’s crunchy, aromatic, and gently electric. It also marks a major step for 50Hertz: proof that the company can work at scale with global partners while staying true to its craft and quality standards.
“After living and eating all over the world, I’ve found nothing quite like Sichuan pepper,” said Yao Zhao, founder of 50Hertz Tingly Foods. “It sparks joy, curiosity, and conversation wherever it goes. With our cashews, we wanted to capture that sense of surprise in a familiar form — global in sourcing, deeply Sichuan in spirit, and truly one of a kind.”
What Makes Tingly Cashews Special
Authentic Tingle, Not Just Spice
Unlike chili-based “spicy” snacks, Tingly Cashews use real green Sichuan pepper, creating a natural citrusy buzz that awakens without burning.
Precision Roasted, Not Fried
Each cashew is roasted in a multifunctional drum roaster at carefully controlled temperatures — never deep-fried — preserving its creamy, buttery texture and clean finish.
Premium Quality & Small-Batch Consistency
Just like with the brand’s peanuts — which are carefully sourced for size and crunch — 50Hertz applies the same rigor to its cashews, selecting larger, higher-grade nuts with a clean flavor, buttery texture, and satisfying snap.
Each batch is roasted under precision-controlled conditions using small-batch and dual-coating techniques to ensure even tingle distribution, lasting freshness, and that signature 50Hertz crunch.
Layered Flavor
Tingly Cashews take their cues from Sichuan’s guai wei (怪味, “strange flavor”) tradition — a playful balance where opposites coexist.
Each bite layers gentle sweetness from caramelized sugar, savory depth from salt and pea protein, and the bright, citrusy aroma of green Sichuan pepper. A hint of chili brings warmth without heat, while the Sichuan pepper’s natural tingling effect adds an electric sparkle that lingers.
Plant-Powered & Vegan by Popular Demand
50Hertz heard its vegan fans loud and clear — and listened. The company’s earliest prototypes used a touch of egg white for coating, but it has since reformulated with yam powder, making Tingly Cashews 100% plant-based and vegan without losing any of the crunch or flavor.
Each serving also delivers 5 g of plant-powered protein (≈ 20 g per 100 g), with zero cholesterol and negligible trans fat.
Versatile Snack
Enjoy them straight from the bag, on hikes, paired with drinks, with fruit, over yogurt, sprinkled over salads for a spark of tingle, or passed around during game night with friends.
A Milestone for 50Hertz Tingly Foods
Tingly Cashews are now a permanent part of the 50Hertz lineup — a bold step toward the company’s vision of a fully tingly snack aisle.
They represent a milestone for 50Hertz:
-
The company’s first product was created entirely from scratch — from idea to recipe to packaging.
-
Proof that small, craft-driven brands can collaborate globally without compromising authenticity.
-
A key addition to the brand’s growing Tingly Family — a lineup of snacks bound by flavor, curiosity, and that unmistakable buzz.
