On today’s episode we embark on a journey that sheds light on Asia’s most misunderstood berry and discuss how it’s making a hot comeback.

We sit down with Yao Zhao, Founder of 50 Hertz Tingly Foods to discuss all things Sichuan peppers.

In this interview, we delve into the scientific intricacies behind Sichuan pepper’s iconic mala (麻辣) or numbing flavour.

Together, we’ll uncover the fascinating history of Sichuan peppers, tracing their origins in ancient medicinal practices and their epic odyssey along the legendary Silk Road.

But that's not all—our exploration extends to the nuances between the green and red varieties, exploring how these tiny berries have sparked a fervent "mala craze" across Asia. From the innovative Mala milk tea to delectable culinary concoctions, witness the evolution of a culinary revolution that leaves taste buds tingling and palates yearning for more.
