Hei Ma Green Gems Chili Crisp

Elevate your meals with Hei Ma's Green Gems Chili Crisp, a premium condiment crafted from locally-foraged ingredients. This artisanal blend combines mineral-rich kombu, roasted green Hatch chiles from New Mexico's Hatch Valley, and sweet Chesnok Red garlic scapes from Bernier Farms in Sonoma County's Dry Creek region. Garlic scapes—the tender flowering shoots of hardneck garlic plants—are a seasonal delicacy available only in late spring and early summer. Once discarded as agricultural waste, these flavorful stems now shine as the star ingredient in Green Gems, delivering complex, roasty notes alongside mild heat. This carefully balanced blend features olive oil, peanuts, sesame seeds, shallots, pumpkin seeds, and warming spices including Sichuan peppercorns, cumin, ginger, and cardamom. The result is a versatile condiment perfect for drizzling over rice, vegetables, proteins, or soups.

Shelf-stable and ready to use straight from the jar. The olive oil base may firm slightly when chilled; no refrigeration required after opening.
