Whole Dried Gochujang Peppers

Dried gochujang peppers are Korean red chili peppers used to make gochujang, the iconic fermented chili paste. When dried, they have a deep red color, moderate heat, and a slightly sweet, smoky flavor. They’re often ground into flakes or powder for sauces, marinades, and kimchi, adding color, spice, and umami to Korean dishes.
