Review: Great spice for Asian cucumber salads - I wanted to make a cucumber Asian salad and required this type of chili powder. I am so glad I found this specific brand. It tastes delicious and has a medium heat level. As a spice fan, it is not spicy. It's a big bag so it is worth the money.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Is this made in Korea?**
A: Grown in China, processed and packaged in Korea. I would give it a pass and pay the premium for the Korean grown stuff. Cant speak for difference in quality but if you know anything about groundwater contamination and farming practices in China the Korean grown stuff starts looking a lot less expensive.

**Q: Could red pepper flakes from a regular American grocery store be substituted for this?  How are they different?**
A: It's a different type/breed of pepper. American red pepper flakes typically use dried jalapeno pepper or cayenne peppers. Gochugaru is a Korean red chili pepper (called  taeyang-cho). Is you sub the flakes, your dish will taste "fine", but it won't taste authentically "korean" - just my opinion. It'll taste like a spicy soup, or spicy meat, or whatever you're making like a fusion-style cuisine. I would never sub the flakes. Once you take a sniff of the Korean gochugaru you will know the difference - there is a sweetness, smokiness and depth to the flakes. Hope this helps.

**Q: Can this be kept in the refrigerator for long?**
A: I've keep it in refrigerator for 2 years at a time. Still great.

**Q: How many cups of chili flakes does this contain?**
A: There are 5.66 cups of flakes in the package based on the service size info on the package. 1088 quarter teaspoons is 272 teaspoons. Plus that into a converter to get 5.66 cups.
