The source of our Dried Red Sichuan Pepper is from audited supplier from Sichuan Province, one of the main growing areas of Dried Red Sichuan Pepper in China. 

We buy Dried Red Sichuan Pepper from our audited suppliers who grow Sichuan Pepper trees in remote mountainous areas far away from industries with low heavy metals, managing the application of pesticides as per our supervision so that there is no pollution of pesticide residues in the products.

The harvest begins from mid-Aug. on when the Sichuan Pepper begins to show red color. Now that there are many thorns on the branches of Sichuan Pepper tree， Workers need to wear special gloves  To avoid being hurt.  While picking the fruits, workers should work carefully to avoid hurting the branches.   If many branches are seriously damaged, the yield next year will be seriously affected.

Having carried the peppers home, workers need to place them thinly on the floor for the night to avoid self-heating, which will spoil the red color of the Sichuan Pepper. The next day, the Sichuan Peppers need to be dried in the sunshine on bamboo mattress.  If they are placed directly on the cement floor, the red color will be spoiled. The drying should be continuous; otherwise the red color will also be spoiled.

After we have purchased raw materials from our audited suppliers, our workers will remove the stems and the seeds from the Sichuan Peppers first by scrubbing them.  After scrubbing, a sieve is applied to remove the seeds;   a winnower, to remove the stems.  After that, our workers will remove impurities and other foreign matters from the Sichuan Peppers and finally pack them in PP bags of 20kg net each.   During the whole course, strong magnets and metal detectors are applied to avoid pollution of iron and other metals.

Dried Sichuan Peppers is usually used as raw materials for making spices and seasonings, as raw materials for making animal feeds,  and even as raw materials for making pharmaceuticals.

Our annual output of Sichuan Peppers is about 100 tons.

Our Dried Sichuan Peppers is usually exported to EU, USA, Japan, Middle East, and South Korea.   If you have any demand, call us anytime.
