Natruen Whole Sichuan Red Chili Pods 4 oz, Mild, Facing Heaven Chilies

Great chili

Kind of expensive but the flavor is much better than what I was able to find locally. Great for asian dishes that call for whole or chopped peppers. Just the right amount of spice. Will definitely continue to buy.

I bought the hot version of these, and it was just way more than I could handle. This version, however, has a little pleasant heat, but a lot more taste and no tears. This is the one I will buy from now on.

I have been learning Chinese cooking and Sichuan recipes often call for dried red peppers. We saw a man chewing out a waitress once because he ate a red pepper at a restaurant. He couldn't stop crying and was really angry the pepper had been left in the food. He didn't know they were for color and are very hot, so we know enough not to eat them. We don't like a lot of spice so I leave them whole and do not break them open like the recipes say to. This bag has large whole dried peppers perfect for Sichuan cooking. It is probably more than I will ever need but I can't find them locally. Thank goodness for Amazon. I have bought lots of Chinese spices and noodles that I can't get at home.

I bought the mild, thinking Szechuan is usually very hot. These are not. They are very mild. They also don’t have much flavor. They are dry, but not crunchy.

Good price for a good product.

nice taste, not too hot

Haven’t used them yet but they are intact whole chilies of a uniform size. No mold or extraneous debris. Packed well. Can’t wait to use.
