Sun-Dried Coarse Gochugaru for Kimchi

I’ve bought the exact same product from a local store before, so I already knew I liked it. I needed coarse gochugaru to make kimchi, but I really didn’t want to make a trip to the store. Luckily, I found this on Amazon, which was very convenient. I made regular kimchi and cucumber kimchi, and both turned out delicious. The spice level is just right. The bottle was well sealed, and the lid is easy to use. I ordered it on August 3, 2026, and the expiration date is July 25, 2027. I am satisfied with this purchase.

Just love this. I use it a lot instead of peppers. I enjoy the flavor and a little heat Very good quality and the taste is also very good. It adds more flavor to food.

Good flavor, but nowhere close to the heat level I was expecting.

Just what I needed. I turned to Amazon because I could not find it at our local Asian market.

I like the flavor of chili, but I can't take the heat! At least I can't take too much heat. These gochugaru flakes are a great alternative to chili flakes because they are not nearly as spicy but have a great smoky chili flavor. I add four or five times as much of these as the chili flakes I used to use, which means I get a lot of flavor and color without making my food too spicy for me to eat! Also, eight ounces is a big container (bigger than a Coke can), so even though I use a lot, these will last me for a while, which means these are great value for money, too.
