Good experience with Food Library but expensive
The Gochu powder or rather the flakes is really good quality. The taste and color of the product are excellent. Gochugaru is not supposed to be super spicy. It is an even better version of Kashmiri chili powder - not hot but flavourful. But the price should be lower.

Store in the freezer to maintain quality
The bottle cap was not screwed on properly, hence there was a little spillage. The packaging to prevent glass breakage was very good though. Gochugaru has a tendency to get fungus very easily, hence as mentioned on the bottle, it HAS to be stored in an airtight container if you want it to last at least a few months. I also prefer storing it in the freezer, to maintain freshness (as recommended by several Korean cooks). The taste is not as spicy for the typical Indian palate. It has the smoky hot flavour as usual, but don’t expect to be knocked out of your senses with the spice. Gochugaru in reality isn’t as spicy as certain chillies available in India.

Too smoky; does not taste authentic
Far too smoky compared to authentic ones. The color is also darker and not bright red. So the kimchi I made with this came out all wrong. I’ve had authentic kimchi before and I’ve made kimchi before using other peppers, and this didn’t meet my expectations.

Great product for Korean food!
Great for Korean cuisine! Rich red colour and mild/medium heat. Have made kimchi with it and it turned out good! I am a repeat customer for this product.

Not spicy
I dont think this is original . Not spicy at all . The original one is very spicy,and it has a hot spicy flavour to it but this has nothing ,its pale. Total waste of money if ur looking for the korean spicy punch to ur dishes , u cant use this for Kimchi at all.

Not that spicy
Unless I have tried the original version of this kind of pepper, I can't really tell whether this is authentic or not. I got it to make kimchi and both versions turned out good. It is a bit grainy which means it doesn't properly dissolve you are mixing it. It is not that spicy as per Indian standard but is different in taste than Indian red chili powders. As for repurchase, I will give the chili paste a try before (which is very costly) then going back to this.
