We love this finely ground Gochugaru Powder, which has a bright aroma similar to cayenne and can be used as a milder alternative to hot paprika. Made from sun-dried and deseeded Korean hot peppers, gochugaru is essential for Korean staples like kimchi and the hot pepper paste gochujang, not to mention a wide array of marinades, stews and side dishes. Its fruity, earthy flavor and approachable medium heat make it well rounded and adaptable to all manner of recipes in place of store-bought chili powder or chili flakes.
We test everything we sell. Here’s how we’d use this.
This fruity, earthy tasting gochugaru powder works well for warming up Korean dishes and makig kimchi. Or it can be used anywhere hot paprika or New Mexico chili powder is specified.
