Better than chili flakes

These little chilies are better for me than chili flakes. They are mild and easier to sprinkle for just the right amount of heat!

Perfect for Korean dishes, unique flavor

The spice is perfect-moderate heat with the taste of a habanero and is a Deep red. Heat is like a New Mexico Chile, so if you want it hotter, add more or some cayenne. Perfect for kimchi for flavor and color.

A staple in our kitchen

Started using these a couple of years ago, obsessed with the lovely fragrance and flavor of these. We use these gochugaru peppers as seasoning on almost everything. Subtle heat at the beginning then it develops. Not hot, warm, just right. Don’t want to be without it.
