Gochugaru (Korean Chili) Pepper Seeds
Grow the vibrant, flavorful heart of Korean cuisine right in your own backyard! These are the seeds for the authentic peppers used to create Gochugaru, the iconic red chili powder that is the soul of dishes like Kimchi, Tteokbokki, and countless stews. Don't settle for store-bought powder when you can harvest your own peppers and create the freshest, most aromatic Gochugaru imaginable.
These productive plants yield an abundance of beautiful, slender peppers that mature to a stunning, glossy red. Unlike peppers that are all about raw heat, the Gochugaru pepper offers a complex, savory, and satisfying warmth. Its unique flavor profile is a perfect balance of smoky, sweet, and fruity notes. The thin walls of the pepper make them ideal for drying and grinding into the brilliant red flakes that will elevate your cooking to a new level of authenticity.
