Gochugaru, a vibrant red chili powder, is a staple ingredient in Korean cuisine, celebrated for its smoky, sweet, and moderately spicy flavor. Made from sun-dried red peppers, the flakes or powder are typically free of seeds, resulting in a smooth texture ideal for kimchi, stews, and marinades. Nutritionally, gochugaru is rich in vitamins A and C, which support immune health and skin vitality. It also contains capsaicin, a compound linked to metabolism-boosting properties and anti-inflammatory benefits. Low in calories and free of fat, gochugaru serves as a flavorful way to enhance dishes without relying on high-calorie additives. However, its spiciness may be intense for some, so moderation is key, especially for those sensitive to heat or prone to digestive concerns.
