## Questions & Answers

**Q: Is this made in Korea?**
A: Grown in China, processed and packaged in Korea. I would give it a pass and pay the premium for the Korean grown stuff. Cant speak for difference in quality but if you know anything about groundwater contamination and farming practices in China the Korean grown stuff starts looking a lot less expensive.

**Q: Could red pepper flakes from a regular American grocery store be substituted for this?  How are they different?**
A: It's a different type/breed of pepper. American red pepper flakes typically use dried jalapeno pepper or cayenne peppers. Gochugaru is a Korean red chili pepper (called  taeyang-cho). Is you sub the flakes, your dish will taste "fine", but it won't taste authentically "korean" - just my opinion. It'll taste like a spicy soup, or spicy meat, or whatever you're making like a fusion-style cuisine. I would never sub the flakes. Once you take a sniff of the Korean gochugaru you will know the difference - there is a sweetness, smokiness and depth to the flakes. Hope this helps.

**Q: Can this be kept in the refrigerator for long?**
A: I've keep it in refrigerator for 2 years at a time. Still great.

**Q: How many cups of chili flakes does this contain?**
A: There are 5.66 cups of flakes in the package based on the service size info on the package. 1088 quarter teaspoons is 272 teaspoons. Plus that into a converter to get 5.66 cups.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Nice heat level, good flavor
*by T***G on February 25, 2026*

This chili powder is excellent. Exactly what I was looking for.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great flavor, just the right amount of heat, and huge bottle.
*by A***7 on September 16, 2024*

This pepper powder has an amazing flavor! It’s not really a powder like the bottle says, but it’s more finely ground than the typical red pepper flakes you’d find at Italian restaurants or in the grocery store. To me it has a hint of smokiness, and an overall more intense and interesting flavor over regular red pepper flakes. It’s not overpoweringly hot, but it is hotter (in a good way) than regular red pepper flakes. Its not that slow kind of burn heat, but rather hot for a moment, and then gone. Perfect for then you’re eating a fair amount of whatever you’ve used it on. I initially bought this to use to make some banchan, but have since used it on all kinds of things, and its great on just about everything. It’s partially good with hummus, and as an inclusion to various marinades, but you’ll probably find yourself sprinkling it on lots of stuff, and being happy that you did. In looking at the first picture, you may assume this is a standard size spice bottle, but it’s not, its pretty large, and even using it regularly, this should last a substantial amount of time. At quick glance it looks like this is really high in calories for a spice, with 90 per serving. But upon more review, that’s based on only 7 servings per container. Unless you’re running a catering business, there’s no way you’ll only get 7 servings from this, its easily more like 100+ servings for most people. I’m very happy with this purchase. If you’re debating giving this a try, I strongest suggest you go for it.
