Mother-In-Law’s Gochugaru Authentic Korean Chile Flakes, made from Premium Hot Peppers, Medium Heat, Use for Kimchi, Spicy Dishes, Bulk 8oz Bag

I’ve discovered this brand of Gochugaru several years ago while searching for kimchi recipes to make at home. I keep it in the freezer where it stays fresh until I need it. I’ve been making kimchi off and on for about four years, and recommend this brand as well as mother-in-law recipes for other fermented goods. For the last batch of kimchi I made, I let it ferment in our basement refrigerator for a couple of weeks, instead of leaving it out on the counter in the summer. Best results ever, crisper vegetables, and not quite as sour a ferment, crisp and clean taste.

I REALLY love this product and glad to find it in bulk...I wish it was a 3 pound bag as I use a lot of it. Not very spicy, just a hint, and some sweetness shines through.I make "Spicy Cucumber Chips" from the Medical Medium line up of recipes!! I'm wondering what else I can make with it!The package arrived fresh.I'll continue to buy this because it's cost effective compared to the small jars at the store.

Just a nice amount of heat

Best flavor and consistency. Will be buying again.

My first gochugaru, so, uninformed opinion. Good resealable package, nice flakes as was needed. Hot but LOTS of flavor. My wild ferment kimchee is bubbling away. I tasted today (day 4) and it is delicious ! I have made sauerkraut in the past and just didn't like it. I have been on antibiotics for months and my gut is in turmoil, so I'm trying fermented foods again. I think I have found it...very excited. And as a bonus, so beautiful.I am using Maintenance free silicone airlock waterless fermentation lids for wide mouth mason jars. BPA free, mold free, dishwasher safe. 5 pack. Premium Presents brand. andThe Easy Weight - Fermentation Weights with Grooved Handles - Small Batch Sauerkraut, Pickles or Other Fermented Foods- Fermenting for ANY Wide Mouth Mason Jars (4 Pack)Both items are great, work well, no moving parts, easily cleaned.

I bought this because I wanted to try a Korean recipe. I don't even remember what it was anymore but I didn't like it. So....I had this rather large package of peppers that I had no particular use for. I did notice the the peppers in it were grown in Mexico so I thought it might be good for Mexican type food. It is. I now use it in taco seasoning, chili, and also for Chinese food like stir fried vegetables. It is hot, but not overwhelmingly hot. Good stuff.

This is a very unique flavor that gives garlic crisp its character. It is also a very veratile chili because it is more flavor than heat. I just like the Mother n Law brand over others that I've tried.It is great with citrus for salads and fresh fruits. I also blend it with other spices to create blends.

One of the most versatile spices I own
