Not to be confused with the "Chili Powder" seasoning blend found in nearly all U. S. grocery markets. This seasoning blend is not a substitute for Korean chili powder.
Gochugaru is made from dried red chilies only, and is available in fine, medium, and coarse grinds.
Fine ground is most often used in soups, marinades, and seasoning pastes. Premium Korean made gochugaru uses sun dried chilies.
Made from 100% red chili peppers, this coarse gochugaru is perfect for making kimchi and adding a spicy kick to various dishes like BBQ and stir-fried pork.
Using premium sun-dried peppers grown from premium Korean pepper seeds, this chili powder has no added ingredients like msg.
Best use outside of kimchi - when you need a slight kick without coloring everything red.
This premium quality Korean red chili pepper paste is made from all-natural brown rice, known for its health benefits such as lowering cholesterol and providing antioxidants. Sourced from the city of Sunchang, renowned for its high-quality peppers and traditional fermentation practices. The careful fermentation process ensures that the ingredients maintain their rich flavors while becoming smoother in texture. Packaged in a convenient resealable package.
