Korean Origin Red Pepper Powder Chili Flakes From Famous Award Winning Region of Yeong Yang Korea Gochugaru (고추가루) - Medium Spice - Medium Ground - Ideal for Everyday Cooking - 2.2. lbs

This is a fine textured medium level of heat that I’m used to when I eat kimchi made by Korean women.I’m not a big fan of the strength of heat they’re used to so this medium is perfect for me. It has that beautiful red color that Cabbage Kimchi is known for.Well worth the price.

Just made my kimchi. The color of coarse flakes is a beautiful deep bright red orange.Even my husband tried my fresh kimchi. Flavor is mild and he liked it.Can’t wait for it to ferment so we could enjoy our home made Kimchi.Five star Quality! Thank you so much!Nov 17,2020Made a new batch of kimchi for my Sister.She’s lovin’ it!❤️

Best for kimchi, worth the price and perfect flavor, medium hot. Not always available, so be careful about low-quality substitutions.

Arrived fast but it arrived with a small puncture on the bag. Had to put tape on it. Hope the flavor is worth the price. Never bought such expensive pepper before.

The flavor is excellent but I was hoping that this was as spicy as advertised. Spice level is about the same as any other gochugaru.

I made two batches of kimchi, both inedible, using red chili peppers as recommended in a couple of recipes. Then I found a recipe online written by a Korean who stressed that using Korean red pepper was essential. He was right!! My third try with kimchi using this particular pepper worked. The hotness of chili peppers drowns out all flavor in kimchi. This pepper is much, much milder, with just the right amount of warmth...and flavor. Wish it were more affordable. -- Diane Weber

I purchased this because the only ones carried in my local Asian store was from China, and I have to admit, that I did not realize that before using it. I lived in Korea for two years, and I wanted one made in Korea. I found this here, spent $55 to purchase it, and this is what I can say about this purchase: good taste , the “very spicy” should absolutely not be used, because it is not - on a spicy scale of 1-5, I give it a 2 (I am from the Caribbean, so please take that into consideration). This price probably makes sense to some because description noted an award. Also, Maangchi’s visit to their factory video - (by the way I have been a fan of Maangchi for years, and absolutely love her cooking and style), I am certain this price makes business sense to manufacturer, but zero frugal sense to consumer. I see nothing special about the taste, and the only reason I purchased it, is because it was Korean made. I will not purchase again, because I now realize that this purchase was senseless, as there is nothing else special about this product!!

Made cucumber kimchi. Color and taste was amazing, red pepper powder really brought out the flavors. I will definitely buy more when I need to.
