Description

Gochugaru is one of the essential spices of Korean cuisine. Known for its vibrant red colour, gentle heat, fruity aroma, and slightly smoky flavour, this Korean chili pepper is a must-have ingredient for homemade kimchi, spicy marinades, broths, sauces, and Asian-inspired dishes.

Unlike very hot chili powders, Gochugaru offers a warm but mild heat, making it easy to use in everyday cooking. It adds colour, depth, and a balanced chili flavour without overpowering the dish. It works beautifully in vegetable stir-fries, wok dishes, lightly pickled vegetables, chicken marinades, pork dishes, duck recipes, seafood, fish, barbecue sauce, homemade mayonnaise, and Korean-style broths.

The chilies are harvested at full maturity and dried to develop their characteristic colour and flavour. This gives Gochugaru its distinctive balance of fruitiness, warmth, and gentle smokiness.
