Natruen Whole Dry Szechuan Chinese Red Chili Pods 4 Oz (Medium Hot), Spicy Sichuan Dried Red Hot Chilies for Chili Oil, Paste, and Sauce

Great product. I used them in two dishes this week. Not overly spicy if you keep them whole and they add a lot of color to any dish. Definitely recommend

Excellent price for large amount. Flavor is amazing. Will buy again.

These were really good. I nice amount of warmth.

Good quality

Immediately put some in processor to make flakes. Good heat, but flavorful too.Also making chili oil.

Tasted good.

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.

As described, very mild if seeds are removed. Medium spice level with seems.
