Taekyung Korean Chili Powder For Paste - Fine Gochugaru 1LB Bag MSG Free

About This Product

If you're into Korean cooking, this Taekyung Chili Powder is an absolute must-have in your pantry. This is the fine, soft gochugaru that's specifically made for creating authentic gochujang (that amazing Korean fermented chili paste) and for seasoning soups and stews where you want the flavor without coarse texture. With a Scoville heat rating around 4,500, it's got that perfect medium spice level - enough kick to notice but not so hot that it overwhelms other flavors. What's really impressive is the purity - it's 100% pepper with no MSG, additives, fat, sugar, carbs, or cholesterol, and it's vegan and gluten-free. Taekyung is one of Korea's oldest and most trusted condiment brands (they're actually owned by Nongshim, the giant noodle company), and all their gochugaru is processed in GMP/ISO certified factories in South Korea using premium sun-dried peppers. The 1-pound bag gives you plenty to work with for multiple recipes, and the fine grind means it incorporates smoothly into pastes and liquids without leaving gritty texture. Whether you're making homemade gochujang, kimchi, tteokbokki, or any other Korean dish that calls for authentic chili flavor, this powder delivers that traditional taste you're looking for. Seriously, if you want your Korean cooking to taste like the real deal, starting with quality ingredients like this makes all the difference.
