Haetnim Maeul 100% Korean Cheongyang Gochugaru - Very Spicy!

Korea's Fiery Cheongyang Chili Pepper

[Haetnim Maeul] 100% Korean Cheongyang Gochugaru (Very Spicy!)

  • Very spicy (5/5)
  • Coarse flakes
  • 100% Korea-grown
  • 130 g pouch

Today, we're excited to offer Haetnim Maeul's spiciest gochugaru!

Rated 5/5 on their spice scale, Haetnim Maeul Cheongyang Gochugaru (햇님마을 청양 고춧가루) is made with Cheongyang chili peppers, the hottest chili variety in Korea. If you enjoy spicy Korean dishes, this is perfect.

It's not melt-your-face-off spicy, but hot enough to remind you of being in Korea! That's why it comes in a smaller 130 g pouch. You only need a little.

Next time your ramen or sundubu jjigae "could be spicier", add a small spoonful. The coarse flakes also give kimchi, seasoned side dishes and stews a bright red color.

Where are the chili peppers grown? This gochugaru is made with 100% Korea-grown Cheongyang chili peppers, not imported from China. Haetnim Maeul has been making gochugaru since 1999 in HACCP-certified facilities.

So what's inside?

Full Ingredients List: Dried Cheongyang red chili pepper (건고추, 청양초) 100%, grown in South Korea.

In the box: One 130 g resealable pouch, coarse ground. Made by Yeongyang F&S Agricultural Co. (농업회사법인 ㈜영양F&S), Icheon, South Korea.

To keep: Store in the refrigerator to preserve the taste and natural oils of the flakes. Best before the date printed on the pouch.

Good to know: No allergens listed on the label. Prefer medium heat? Try our Haetnim Maeul Gochugaru. Like this heat but want a fine grind? Try the Haetnim Maeul Finely Ground Gochugaru.

My new go to for gochugaru!

Made kimchi with this and it was the necessary kick it needed :)

Great service all around!

I had difficulty finding gochugaru that was explicitly made from Cheongyang peppers. It's a little on the pricey side and the bag is smaller than the 'standard' sizes I've seen in markets, but shipping was more than fair so I think that evens out. I really appreciated the handwritten note, as well! Thank you so much!

Coarse flakes, top of the heat scale

The coarse grind gives kimchi and seasonings a bright red color and a clean look.

Use it in kkakdugi, seasoned side dishes, stir-fries, stews and jjigae. A little goes a long way.
