Culinary use

Gochugaru

Gochugaru (chili powder)

Gochugaru, also known as Korean chili powder,[7][8] is chili powder or flakes used in Korean cuisine.[9] The name "gochugaru" derived from Korean gochu-garu (고춧가루; gochutgaru), where gochu (고추) means "chili pepper" and garu (가루) means "powder".[10][5][11] In English, gochugaru usually refers to the seedless, Korean variety of chili powder. It is vibrant red in color, and texture and heat level may vary from fine powder to flakes, and from mildly hot to very hot.[12][13] Traditionally made from sun-dried Korean red chili peppers (called taeyang-cho), gochugaru has a complex flavor profile with spicy, sweet, and slightly smoky tastes.[12] Gochugaru made from Cheongyang chili peppers are finer and hotter.
