So needless to say I used to bring back the real Korean HOT pepper flakes. I have only been able to find the mild pepper flakes here in the UK. I recently finished the last amount of the real stuff from Korea so I decided to try this brand. I made my kimchi 3 days ago and it's been fermenting on my counter top. I just tasted it and it's utterly delicious and it's super spicy! I can't believe it. So as others have said, the more you add the spicier it will be. Mine is perfect for my taste. I was going to give it only 3 stars but having tasted my kimchi I can't do that. I know it's from China but the stuff form Korea isn't available here in the UK so in the end I'm really glad I tried this. The pepper powder is packaged in Korea so they are the country who is approving this to sell with their Korean brand name on it. They do have high standards in Korea so you can trust these pepper flakes do the job well! When this damn pandemic is over I'll travel back to the states and buy the Korean stuff again! But in the meantime I'm really happy with these pepper flakes. Btw, even H Mart here in the UK only sells the stuff from China so there's really no other option in the UK. Also, the ready made brands of Kimchi that are available here are terrible and full of sugar. I've been to Korea twice and believe me they don't have sugar laden sweet kimchi there. The real stuff is super spicy! Yum! I'm so thankful to have a brand new batch of spicy kimchi on hand. Will make more next week now that I know I like these pepper flakes! :) Review: Si te gusta cocinar... - Estoy muy contenta con la calidad y de encontrar productos en gran formato. ## Features - Affordable choice for budget conscious buyers - Safe and clean manufacturing process - Bright Red color ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B005G8IDTQ | | Brand | Taekyung | | Brand Name | Taekyung | | Coin Variety 1 | Red Pepper | | Container Type | Bag | | Customer Reviews | 4.7 out of 5 stars 12,514 Reviews | | Item Form | Flake | | Item Package Weight | 0.48 Kilograms | | Item Weight | 454 g | | Manufacturer | Taekyung Nongsan | | Net Quantity | 473.18 Milliliters | | Number of Items | 1 | | Number of Pieces | 1 | | Produce Sold As Format | Pre-packaged | | Produce sold as | Pre-packaged | | Size | ".1 pack (1 Lb) | | UPC | 701607235818 | | Unit Count | 473.18 Milliliters | | Variety | Red Pepper | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Taekyung - **Item Form:** Flake - **Net Quantity:** 473.18 Milliliters - **Number of Items:** 1 - **Variety:** Red Pepper ## Images ![Tae-kyung Korean Red Chili Pepper Flakes Powder Gochugaru, 1 Lb - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71Rxf5LP7qL.jpg) ![Tae-kyung Korean Red Chili Pepper Flakes Powder Gochugaru, 1 Lb - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71Wf9Ho+m5L.jpg) ![Tae-kyung Korean Red Chili Pepper Flakes Powder Gochugaru, 1 Lb - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61dDspJZavL.jpg) ![Tae-kyung Korean Red Chili Pepper Flakes Powder Gochugaru, 1 Lb - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/41SwY8htjKL.jpg) ![Tae-kyung Korean Red Chili Pepper Flakes Powder Gochugaru, 1 Lb - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/512h0v7VMXL.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: Is this made in Korea?** A: Grown in China, processed and packaged in Korea. I would give it a pass and pay the premium for the Korean grown stuff. Cant speak for difference in quality but if you know anything about groundwater contamination and farming practices in China the Korean grown stuff starts looking a lot less expensive. **Q: Could red pepper flakes from a regular American grocery store be substituted for this? How are they different?** A: It's a different type/breed of pepper. American red pepper flakes typically use dried jalapeno pepper or cayenne peppers. Gochugaru is a Korean red chili pepper (called taeyang-cho). Is you sub the flakes, your dish will taste "fine", but it won't taste authentically "korean" - just my opinion. It'll taste like a spicy soup, or spicy meat, or whatever you're making like a fusion-style cuisine. I would never sub the flakes. Once you take a sniff of the Korean gochugaru you will know the difference - there is a sweetness, smokiness and depth to the flakes. Hope this helps. **Q: Can this be kept in the refrigerator for long?** A: I've keep it in refrigerator for 2 years at a time. Still great. **Q: How many cups of chili flakes does this contain?** A: There are 5.66 cups of flakes in the package based on the service size info on the package. 1088 quarter teaspoons is 272 teaspoons. Plus that into a converter to get 5.66 cups. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Best option in the UK *by N***G on 4 December 2020* I love Kimchi and am originally from the states where I used to shop at a fantastic Korean market where you could actually buy Korean pepper flakes from Korea, not China.

If you love making authentic Korean dishes like kimchi, stews, bibimbap sauces, or even adding a punch of vibrant flavor to Asian‑inspired marinades, this gochugaru delivers exactly what you’re looking for. 🌶️ Authentic Korean Spice with Real Depth of Flavor Right away, I was impressed by the rich color and bold flavor of this chili powder. Unlike typical red pepper flakes, genuine Korean gochugaru has a bright red hue and a complex taste profile — a balanced combination of smoky, slightly sweet, and medium heat — that really enhances dishes rather than just adding pure spice. It brings out that signature Korean kick you read about in recipes, and it’s exactly what gives kimchi its classic, lively red color. 🥬 Perfect for Traditional and Everyday Cooking This gochugaru has become my go‑to not just for kimchi making, but for so much more. I’ve used it to: Add deep spicy color to kimchi and kimchi stews Boost flavor in spicy stir‑fried pork (jeyuk bokkeum) Sprinkle into marinades for grilled meats and BBQ Mix into soups and stews for balanced heat I’ve found that you don’t need a ton to make a noticeable difference — a few generous tablespoons easily elevate recipes and give them an authentic Korean touch. 🧡 Quality You Can Trust One reason I keep reaching for this Taekyung chili powder is how clean and pure it feels. It’s MSG‑free and made from quality red peppers without unnecessary fillers, which gives me confidence that what I’m adding to my food is simple yet powerful. Many reviewers agree that this spice is a great quality option at a good price — especially for anyone wanting to experiment with real Korean flavors at home. 🔥 Good Heat with Great Balance If you enjoy a bit of heat, this gochugaru brings just enough without overpowering your dish. One reviewer even mentioned that it was spicier than expected but very flavorful, which shows that it delivers more than just heat — it brings dimension to your food. If you’re sensitive to spice, you can easily adjust how much you use, but if you crave depth and character, this chili powder is an excellent choice. ⭐ Final Thoughts Overall, this Taekyung gochugaru has made a noticeable difference in the flavor of my cooking. It’s become an essential pantry item that I reach for whenever I want to bring authentic Korean taste and vibrant color into my meals. Whether you’re making kimchi from scratch or experimenting with bold seasoning in other dishes, this chili powder delivers bold, nuanced spice with real character. Highly recommended for cooks who want a flavor upgrade that still feels traditional and true to Korean cuisine. ## Frequently Bought Together - NONGSHIM TAEKYUNG Korean Chili Powder, Gochugaru Chili Flakes.
