[Haetnim Maeul] Finely Ground Gochugaru (120g) - For Spicy Broths & Stews

Very Finely Ground, For Spicy Korean Stews

[Haetnim Maeul] Finely Ground Gochugaru (120g)

  • Fine grind
  • Medium or very spicy
  • 100% Korea-grown
  • 120 g shaker jar

If you enjoy spicy Korean recipes, you may come across the recommendation to use finely ground gochugaru (고운 고춧가루).

Fine gochugaru gives a more vibrant red than regular, coarse gochugaru. It's what gives Korean soups, stews and saucy dishes like tteokbokki that appetizing red color, and it's preferred for making gochujang from scratch. (Coarse gochugaru is the one for kimchi, marinades and banchan.)

In most spicy recipes, fine gochugaru is used together with coarse gochugaru. You only need a little to get that bright red, which is why it usually comes in a smaller container.

Today, we're introducing Haetnim Maeul Finely Ground Gochugaru (햇님마을 국물 땡기는 고운 고춧가루). Haetnim Maeul uses only 100% Korea-grown chili peppers, not imported from China.

It comes in two spice levels: Medium, for everyday Korean recipes (we recommend this one), and Very Spicy, made with Cheongyang chili peppers (청양고추) for a bolder Korean kick.

Ever wondered why your spicy dish or noodles never look as red as the restaurant's? Use a little less coarse gochugaru and add some of this fine gochugaru instead.

So what's inside?

Full Ingredients List: Dried red chili pepper (건고추) 100%, grown in South Korea. The Very Spicy jar is made with Cheongyang chili peppers (청양초).

In the box: One 120 g shaker jar, very finely ground. Made by Yeongyang F&S Agricultural Co. (농업회사법인 ㈜영양F&S), Icheon, South Korea.

To keep: Store in the refrigerator to preserve the taste and natural oils of the chili flakes. Best before the date printed on the jar.

Good to know: No allergens listed on the label. Want coarse flakes for kimchi? Try our Haetnim Maeul Gochugaru or the extra-hot Haetnim Maeul Cheongyang Gochugaru.
