100% PURE KOREAN STYLE GOCHUGARU — NO ADDITIVES, NO FILLERS, NO MSG: Made from a single ingredient: sun-dried Korean red chili peppers. No blends, no preservatives, no artificial color, and no MSG. What you get is clean-label gochugaru with the vibrant red color, naturally fruity-smoky aroma, and authentic flavor that defines real Korean cooking from kimchi to jjigae. COARSE GRIND — THE RIGHT TEXTURE FOR KIMCHI AND FERMENTED DISHES: The coarse flake cut is specifically designed for kimchi-making — the texture that clings to napa cabbage, radish, and other vegetables during fermentation and develops deeper flavor over time. Also ideal for seasoning hearty stews (jjigae), tteokbokki sauce, Korean BBQ marinades, and any recipe that calls for traditional coarse gochugaru. MILD-TO-MEDIUM HEAT (4,500–10,000 SHU) — WARMTH WITHOUT OVERWHELM: Rated at 4,500 to 10,000 Scoville Heat Units, this gochugaru delivers a gentle, building warmth with natural sweetness and a subtle smoky finish — not a sharp burn. The heat level that makes Korean food flavorful and approachable for the whole family, not just spice enthusiasts. SUN-DRIED FOR DEEP COLOR AND AUTHENTIC AROMA: Traditional sun-drying develops the deep red color and complex fruity-smoky aroma that distinguishes quality gochugaru from machine-processed alternatives. The natural drying process enhances the peppers' inherent sweetness and delivers the layered flavor profile Korean home cooks and professional chefs expect from their gochugaru. 1 LB RESEALABLE POUCH — STAYS FRESH BETWEEN USES: A full 1 pound of gochugaru in a zippered, resealable pouch that protects the flakes against moisture, air, and light exposure. The right size for home kitchens that cook Korean food regularly — enough to make a full batch of kimchi or season weeks of everyday meals. Store in a cool, dry place for maximum color and flavor retention. Made from Sun-Dried Chili Peppers – Essential for Authentic Kimchi and Korean Cooking.
