52USA Sichuan Peppercorn, Szechuan Peppercorns(4OZ), Authentic Szechuan Red Peppercorn, Less Seeds, Strong Flavor, Whole Sichuan Red Peppercorns, Tingly Numbness, Key for Mapo Tofu and Sichuan Dishes

This is the real deal. I've never used these before in asian cooking so I made a mistake by using too much. If you are after that numbing effect this will do it for you. Just keep in mind it has a strong flowerly/floral type scent and flavor. Be sure not to use too much and also take it back out of the oil after frying otherwise if you bite into one of these it will throw off the whole dish. I basically ruined my szechuan stir-fry by using too much. Everytime I would bite into one of these I would just taste a strong flowerly flavor. I have never tasted this in any asian dish I've had or in any szechuan dish. I guess the idea is to be subtle and to remove it out from the oil. DO NOT LEAVE these in your dish. It will ruin the dish.

good in my cooking

Tried it only once so far, with a stir fried broccoli. The flavor is unique and I love the tingly sensation you get in your mouth.

Bought this after visiting an Asian restaurant and ordering Dan Dan noodles. They come as whole peppers so be sure to mill it before using!I thought i could cook with the whole peppers and eating my food felt like a battle.I enjoy the numbing spiciness but definitely in moderation.

Great for a spicy kick & that unique numbing feeling. A little goes a long way(crush/grind it first!), so this is a great ratio of product:to:price & will last a long time. I was really surprised at the amazing citrusy smell upon opening the package! ESSENTIAL for Ma Po tofu recipes, I will even add a ½ tsp in my ramen for a Sichuan kick!

Looked the texture all out good product

Seem like good quality... no problems.

I found a recipe for Mapo tofu that called for Szechuan Peppercorns. I was impressed with the flavor, the numbness of the mouthfeel and the overall aroma of these peppercorns.Great product.
