100% Organic Gochugaru

[Anmyeondo] Organic Taeyangcho Gochugaru Flakes

Today, we're excited to offer a 100% Organic Korean Gochugaru!

The red chili peppers are grown organically in Anmyeondo - a pristine island located off the western coast of Korea (in Taean County).

Anmyeon Island receives steady sunshine throughout the year, as well as misty breezes from the ocean. It's ideal for growing chili peppers.

These red chili peppers are grown following organic farming techniques - with no synthetic fertilizers or artificial chemicals.

After harvest, the peppers are de-seeded and left to dry-out, naturally under the sun (no industrial dehydrator) for a deeper flavor.

(Note: Chili peppers that are dried out in the sun are often labeled "Taeyangcho" as they develop a deeper taste) 

The sun-dried chili peppers are then blended into a medium-coarse powder and immediately packaged for delivery throughout Korea.

The gochugaru flakes has a vibrant red color.

It gives spicy dishes like gamja-tang, tteokbokki or dakdori-tang that bright red tint - makes them look even more appetizing.

Editor note: What we also like about this gochugaru is that it's not overly spicy! 

The chili peppers used for this gochugaru have a hint of natural sweetness which balances out its heat.

If "100% organic" is what you're looking for, this is it!

Available in 500g or 1kg.
