About Red pepper paste
Red pepper paste, commonly known as "gochujang" in Korean cuisine, is a vibrant condiment made from fermented red chili peppers, sticky rice, soybeans, and salt. Originating from Korea, this flavorful paste is celebrated for its balance of sweetness, spice, and umami, which enhances various dishes from bibimbap to marinades. Nutritionally, red pepper paste contains vitamins A and C from the chili peppers, offering antioxidant properties that support immunity and skin health. The fermentation process contributes to gut health by introducing beneficial probiotics. However, it can be high in sodium, which should be monitored in a low-sodium diet. Additionally, its sugar content may pose concerns if consumed in large quantities. Despite this, red pepper paste remains a versatile and nutritious way to add depth and heat to meals, making it a staple in Asian and global cuisine.
