30+ seeds

Korean Gochu Pepper, also known as Kimchi Pepper, is a mild to medium heat pepper that is a key ingredient in Korean cuisine, particularly in making traditional kimchi. These peppers are typically bright red, medium-sized, and slightly curved, offering a perfect balance of heat and fruity flavor. Their mild heat level (compared to other chili peppers) allows them to add depth to dishes without overwhelming the palate. Korean Gochu Peppers are essential in kimchi, but they are also used in a variety of other Korean dishes, such as stews, soups, sauces, and stir-fries, where they impart a vibrant color and unique flavor. They are also dried and ground into gochugaru (Korean chili flakes), which is used to season and spice up numerous recipes. Known for their rich vitamin C content and health benefits, these peppers support digestion and immune health.
