## Description

desertcart.com : Taekyung Chili Powder For Paste (Fine, 1LB) - Korean Gochugaru. Red Pepper Spice Seasoning for Asian Food. MSG Free. : Grocery & Gourmet Food

Review: The perfect hot pepper for everything… - I’m multiracial, but also a super taster, so I avoided hot pepper most of my life. However, I had a few good “soul food” meals that made me want to branch out, because I really loved the “vinegary” taste of the peppers themselves. Unfortunately, most American chilis taste like skunky shoes to me, and most Asian peppers (I.e., sriracha) were so blindingly hot that I couldn’t taste anything at all. This gochugaru is like a miracle. All the hot pepper flavor with a polite, but respectable amount of heat. Not only do I use it for my Asian meals (chili oil eggs, omg), but I also completely tossed my cayenne and started using it in my Cajun meals as well. It tastes incredible, like a powdered version of Crystal hot sauce, and for American dishes that call for specific “smoky” flavored chilis, a bit of smoked paprika with this works just fine. You can’t go wrong with this lovely pepper. I buy it in bulk and have been using it for years.
Review: Pungent, spicy and delicious - I used this for my kim chi, and it turned out very well. I also use it to add a little kick to my other dishes. Recently, I found a new use for this product - it's very good for keeping coyotes away from my yard! A little goes a long way. I only need to reapply once every 2 weeks, and the coyotes have been giving my back yard a wide berth ever since! Great product, highly recommend.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Hi, Is this the mild version "fine type" vs. Coarse (more spicy)?**
A: The grind , fine vs coarse, does not determine spicieness.  They are all the same spiciness but the  fine powder mixes with everything.  I did not like the coarse grind at all.

**Q: Does this product have red food dye?**
A: No, 100 % red peppers. Per/package description.

**Q: Is this a fine grind (like fine powder) or more coarse?**
A: yes it is fine grind powder

**Q: I have the hot version of this korean pepper flakes but i'm looking for the milder version. is this one considered mild? thx!**
A: I agree it is not extremely hot but does give a little heat when I make kimchi.  I am sure it can be hotter if using a large amount but I have definitely had some that is much hotter no matter how much is used.
