NPG Authentic Sichuan Chili Flakes 16 Ounces, Hot, Szechuan Crushed Red Pepper Flakes Bulk, Essential Spice Seasoning for Kimchi, Chili Oil, Stir-fry, Pizza, Salads, and Tacos

Excellent flavor. Adds a nice heat without overdoing it. I use it in soups, sauces, and sprinkle a little over pieces of Rotisserie chicken (which I then dip in a homemade blue cheese dressing). If you're adventurous like me you'll sprinkle a little over a chopped kale salad. Again, it spices things up without going overboard. If you want more versatility sauté the flakes in a little oil first before using. Sorry about the photos. I live in a closet and this was the best space I had to show the product.

The Sichuan Pepper flakes and powder are very tasty. I used them to make hot sauce for Christmas presents. Everyone really liked the taste. Flavorful with being too hot.

This is a great addition to spice up any cooking. Just a little goes a long way. The more you use the more intense the flavor and heat. It's great to use in pasta dishes, meat, and soups.

Quality you can tell, this is a good addition to soups or Thai/Chinese food that needs a kick.

Just the right amount of heat for homemade General Tso's chicken.

I like using it for everyday cooking.

Good heat level and really fresh aroma when cooking.

A little goes a long way, quite spicy.

This is not as spicy. I wanted it spicier, for the money.

From a scale of 1 -10, I'd say this is like a 3. It's spicy but not really. Grounded Thai chili peppers are way hotter than this. This is something you would add to dishes to get that step up heat that won't make you sweat. Overall, I'm disappointed it's not EXTRA HOT but it'll have its uses in sauces and whatever.
