The Soul of Sichuan—Mild Heat with a Rich, Nutty, and Fruity Twist.

Overview

Our natural Er Jing Tiao packs a balanced, approachable heat at 5,000 to 15,000 (SHUs). These peppers have the classic "creeper heat." The burn intensifies with time. So those few seconds prior to that—this respected pepper actually has a really nice complex sweet and fruity flavor! Our Er Jing Tiao ground pepper, crushed flakes and dry whole pods are moderately hot (spicy) so use with common sense and caution. Remember, the heat intensifies after eating so start with a very small taste test to gauge your heat tolerance.

The Er Jing Tiao is the cornerstone of authentic Sichuan cuisine, famous for its long, slender shape and deep crimson color. Moderate Heat and Endorphin Rush. Before processing, Er Jing Tiao peppers have a distinctive appearance with a slightly wrinkled texture and a vibrant red color. They are often characterized by their signature hooked end, giving them a graceful and recognizable appearance in the chili community.

This pepper is perfect in generous doses for a specific aromatic kick in stews, sauces, soups, and salsas. For the brave of heart, just add more directly on top!

Too Hot?

Dilute the heat: If you're not used to eating hot peppers, you can dilute the heat by mixing our dry flakes or ground Er Jing Tiao peppers with our milder peppers like our Low Heat Dried Peppers (Chipotle Morita) or our sweet dried peppers (Green Ancho Peppers, Red Cascabel Pepper, Red Poblano Mulato Pepper, Trinidad Pimento (Trini Pemiento), Peppadew Peppers / Sweety Drop Peppers). This will still give you the fruity sweet flavor of the Er Jing Tiao without the overwhelming heat.
