Spicewalla Gochugaru Chilli Flakes deliver the signature flavor of Korean cuisine with a balanced heat and vibrant chile character. If typical red pepper flakes feel sharp or overly aggressive, gochugaru offers a more complex profile with fruity sweetness, subtle smokiness, and gentle warmth.
Best known as the key ingredient in kimchi, gochugaru provides both color and flavor to many Korean dishes. The flakes have a bright red hue and a rich aroma that works beautifully across savory recipes and creative finishes. From avocado toast to popcorn to cocktail rims, this versatile chile brings excitement to everyday foods.

With over 35 years of smoking experience, we started DDR BBQ Supply with a simple goal: to help others cook better barbecue. We've spent decades learning what works and what doesn't, and we apply that knowledge to every product we carry. From high-performance grills and smokers to carefully selected rubs, sauces, and tools, everything we offer is something we believe in and use ourselves. We don’t believe in cutting corners or selling gear we wouldn’t rely on during our own backyard cooks and when we compete in BBQ competitions.
