Your secret to authentic Korean flavor.

Gochugaru, the essential Korean chili flakes, offers a mild heat with sweet, slightly smoky notes. Sun-dried and coarsely ground, it's perfect for making homemade kimchi and adds a unique depth to Korean sides, salads, and sauces. Whether you’re a kimchi enthusiast or just exploring Korean cuisine, these chili flakes are a must-have.

Mixing our own spice blends is our favorite hobby, and gochugaru is the base for our kimchi sprinkle.
