About Gochujang
Gochujang is a Korean fermented chili paste made from glutinous rice, red chili pepper powder, fermented soybeans, and salt. Known for its bold, spicy-sweet flavor, it is a fundamental ingredient in Korean cuisine, adding depth to dishes like bibimbap, tteokbokki, and marinades for meats. The fermentation process imparts beneficial probiotics that may support gut health, while its chili peppers contain capsaicin, linked to metabolism benefits. However, gochujang is also high in sodium and sugar, so moderation is key for a balanced diet. Versatile and flavorful, it serves as both a condiment and a base for rich sauces, making it a staple in kitchens worldwide.
