Organic Gochugaru by Yeongyang Red Farm | 200g

영양레드팜 유기농 고춧가루

The ingredient that gives Korean cuisine the clean heat that builds rather than burns, and a savoury depth that rounds out everything it touches, from kimchi to jjigae to banchan.

Korean chilli powder, made with 100% organic Korean-grown heritage breed chillies.

Grown on the slopes of Yeongyang County, where clean mountain water and the swing between warm days and cool nights give Korean chillies their character.

Every spoonful carries the mountain air of Muchang-ri, Korea's "chilli village", where many households still grow the crop that has come to define the region.

Crafted by Bang Young-gil, 1 of only 3 in Korea to hold the government-designated title of 고추 마이스터 Gochu Meister - Agricultural Meister specialising in chilli cultivation.

No trace of chemical pesticide, fertiliser, antibiotic, or antimicrobial.
He uses compost and microorganisms he cultivates himself to keep disease and pests at bay.

Every chilli is hand-picked, and dried for 5 days at finely controlled temperature.

Every batch is hand-sorted before milling to remove anything not meeting his high standards.

In 200g pouches.

Artisan's story

Experience gochugaru as it should be, Korean grown, with care, hand picked, and dried to perfection. 

Bang Young-gil is 1 of only 3 in Korea to title of 고추 마이스터 Gochu Meister.

None of it, he says, would have been possible without his wife, Kim Young-soon, who has worked the land beside him every step of the way.

He farms in Muchang-ri, a village in Yeongyang county known as the "chilli village", where many households among its hundred or so residents grow the crop that has made the region's name.

But he wasn't born to it.

And now, we warmly share the heritage and experience with you.
