Green Sichuan pepper, also known as Hua Jiao in Chinese, is a type of spice commonly used in Chinese cuisine, particularly in the Sichuan province. It is derived from the fruit of the prickly ash tree, just like the Hongya Sichuan pepper, but it is harvested earlier in the growing season when the fruit is still green and immature.

Green Sichuan pepper has a milder flavor compared to the red variety, with a slightly lemony and tangy taste. It is often used in dishes that require a more subtle flavor, such as fish and seafood dishes, and it is also used in spice blends such as five-spice powder.

Green Sichuan pepper is an essential ingredient in Sichuan cuisine, prized for its unique flavor and health benefits. It is often used in combination with other spices such as chili peppers and garlic to create the distinctive flavor of Sichuan cuisine.
