Taekyung Chili Powder For Kimchi (Flake, 7oz) - Korean Gochugaru. Red Pepper Spice Seasoning for Asian Food. MSG Free.

This pepper powder has an amazing flavor! It’s not really a powder like the bottle says, but it’s more finely ground than the typical red pepper flakes you’d find at Italian restaurants or in the grocery store. To me it has a hint of smokiness, and an overall more intense and interesting flavor over regular red pepper flakes. It’s not overpoweringly hot, but it is hotter (in a good way) than regular red pepper flakes. Its not that slow kind of burn heat, but rather hot for a moment, and then gone. Perfect for then you’re eating a fair amount of whatever you’ve used it on. I initially bought this to use to make some banchan, but have since used it on all kinds of things, and its great on just about everything. It’s partially good with hummus, and as an inclusion to various marinades, but you’ll probably find yourself sprinkling it on lots of stuff, and being happy that you did. In looking at the first picture, you may assume this is a standard size spice bottle, but it’s not, its pretty large, and even using it regularly, this should last a substantial amount of time. At quick glance it looks like this is really high in calories for a spice, with 90 per serving. But upon more review, that’s based on only 7 servings per container. Unless you’re running a catering business, there’s no way you’ll only get 7 servings from this, its easily more like 100+ servings for most people. I’m very happy with this purchase. If you’re debating giving this a try, I strongest suggest you go for it.

Great for adding some spice to any dish and great for kimchi
