GOCHUGARU CHILE FLAKES - Kosher/Gluten Free
GOCH-16
Description:
Gochugaru is a robust and sweet chili pepper from the Aleppo region of Syria and is rich in flavor without adding too much heat. The Gochugaru is dark red with a fruity, sweet and sharp taste that adds a gentle edge of Mediterranean flavor and fragrance. This Chile is from the Aleppo region of Syria, which is considered one of the culinary meccas of the Mediterranean. Gochu literally means chile pepper and garu means powder in Korean. Gochugaru pepper is dried and then ground into a coarse or fine flake. The Gochugarus’ moderate heat level makes it a versatile ingredient in most dishes. Substitute for Paprika or use it for authentic Chile flavor in any Mediterranean dish. Some Indian dishes use this Chile as a seasoning because the complexity can stand alone.
Ingredient Statement:
Crushed Chile Peppers.
