Korean Food Haetnim Maeul 100% Korean Red Chili Powder, Gochugaru Great for Kimchi 8.8oz(250g) Vegan, NO MSG, 고추가루, 한국산

I am pregnant and craved for kimchi—so not really looking for very spicy chili powder (gochugaru). I wanted a mild and flavorful one. I mixed it with a potato paste for my kimchi, and the result was very mild spiciness—just a deep, rich color and great flavor.What I Love About It:✅ Not Spicy at All: If you’re sensitive to heat (or pregnant like me!), this is perfect. It adds color and depth without burning your mouth.✅ Smooth & Fresh Flavor: It has a slightly smoky, naturally sweet taste that works beautifully in kimchi.✅ Great Texture: The coarse flakes mix well into the paste and stick nicely to the cabbage.If you’re looking for a super mild gochugaru for kimchi or other Korean dishes, this is a great option. It’s flavorful without overwhelming heat, which makes it perfect for anyone who prefers a gentler spice level. Would definitely buy again!

Pricy

This is hard to rate as "spicy" is very subjective. To my brother, who eats insanely spicy food, this is practically nothing and was basically equal to paprika. To me, who always requests spice level 0, this had some kick even with a tiny bit. It's a very fine powder and very vibrant red that's a pretty color. It seems really fresh and the bottle is a good size. I wish it was a glass bottle instead of plastic though.

Good product.

I’ve used this over the past few weeks, and think the flavor of it is quite nice, and very reasonably priced considering what you get. Although alternatives do exist out there, they often cost more, plus this has a pretty yummy and unique flavor. This option met my expectations and I view it as an excellent value.

Tried out this Korean chili powder bundle, and the quality stands out. The fine powder works great for soups and marinades, blending smoothly into dishes without clumping. The coarse version is exactly what’s needed for making kimchi, giving it that vibrant color and depth of flavor.The spice level is balanced—not overly hot but with enough heat to enhance dishes without overpowering them. The color is rich and fresh, unlike some lower-quality versions that look dull. It’s also nice to have both fine and coarse varieties in one pack, making it versatile for different recipes.Overall, a great choice for anyone who enjoys Korean cooking or wants an authentic chili powder for various dishes. The freshness and quality make a noticeable difference.

Bright red and great quality gochugaru -- I used it for a variety of stews and seasoning. I like making a Korean corn elote for gatherings and use this in place of tajin -- I highly recommend this and people can't get enough. This definitely won't be enough for kimchi, but I like that this came with both fine and coarse. Tastes great, good heat level, smells as usual. I can't tell the difference between this and the brand I typically buy. Would get this again!

Spicy so good
