We were able to obtain the smallest jar of this Mr Bing Chili Crisp - Mild for our testing. $6 for a little 4 oz. jar at World Market. We had to make two trips to find it because they don't stock it with their other chili crisps. Nope, it's way over in their "mini" section, stocked with other, travel size condiments. Oy!

This one was hard to get an initial take on as the plastic jar is tinted dark brown. One could assume this is to retard degradation from light exposure. Once opened, the solids are mostly powdery and dark in color. An exception is a small amount of lighter colored granules we figured out must be the rice bran. The turbinado sugar is also coarse, and adds a bit of texture in addition to some sweetness.
The heat is mild, with the white pepper and Sichuan peppercorn only minimally represented in the overall flavor profile. A graphic "spice meter" on the label rates this mild version as one pepper out of five.
