Gochugaru, also known as Korean chili powder,[1][2] is chili powder or flakes used in Korean cuisine.[3] The texture varies, from fine powder to more flaky types.[4]

Etymology

In Korean, the word gochutgaru (고춧가루)—consisting of gochu (고추) meaning "chili pepper", the inter-siot (t), and garu (가루) meaning "powder"— refers to "chili powder".[5][6][7] Romanizations of Korean usually substitute the inter-siot with hifens, according to which the result is gochu-garu, but "gochugaru" is a more commonly used spelling in English.
