Chile Threads (Sil-Gochu) – Mild, Earthy & Beautifully Aromatic

About:
Raw Essentials Chile Threads, known in Korea as Sil-Gochu, are thinly sliced Korean red peppers traditionally used as a garnish and mild seasoning. Valued for their delicate appearance and subtle flavor, these threads add a touch of elegance and color to any dish. Despite their vibrant red hue, Chile Threads are very mild in heat, with less than 1,000 SHU. Traditionally used in Korean cuisine — especially in kimchi — Sil-Gochu brings depth and authenticity without overpowering spice. Use them as-is, lightly toasted, or rehydrated for soft, feather-like texture.

Aroma & Taste:
Mild and earthy with gentle warmth.
