About Gochuchang
Gochujang is a traditional Korean condiment known for its rich, spicy flavor and deep umami taste. Made from red chili pepper powder, fermented soybeans, glutinous rice, and salt, it undergoes fermentation, which enhances its complex flavor profile. A staple in Korean cuisine, gochujang is commonly used in dishes like bibimbap, bulgogi, and stews, adding both heat and depth. Nutritionally, it provides small amounts of protein and probiotics from fermentation, along with essential vitamins and minerals. However, it tends to be high in sodium and may contain added sugars, so moderation is key for those monitoring salt or sugar intake. Its capsaicin content from chili peppers may offer metabolism-boosting and anti-inflammatory benefits. Gochujang offers a flavorful way to enhance meals while providing some health perks, but it’s best enjoyed as part of a balanced diet.
