GOCHUGARU SUN-DRIED KOREAN RED PEPPER FLAKES

Bright color, deep flavor, and a gentle, glowing heat.

Gochugaru is the essential red pepper of Korean cooking, made from carefully sun-dried Korean chili peppers that are crushed into vibrant crimson flakes. Unlike many hot chili powders, gochugaru is prized for its balanced character—warming and lively, yet naturally sweet and deeply aromatic.

The peppers are dried under the sun to preserve their rich color and complex flavor. When ground, they produce flakes that are fragrant and slightly fruity, with a moderate heat that builds gradually rather than overwhelming the palate.

The flavor is layered and distinctive: bright and peppery at first taste, followed by a subtle sweetness and a warm, lingering spice. The brilliant red color also lends beautiful depth to kimchi, broths, sauces, and marinades.

A cornerstone of Korean cuisine, gochugaru is indispensable in dishes like kimchi, stews, marinades, and spice rubs. It can also be sprinkled into soups, noodles, roasted vegetables, or used to bring vibrant heat to sauces and dressings.
