Red pepper powder is a typical Korean seasoning used in kimchi, kochujang, ramen soup and so on. Especially Korean red pepper powder has a relatively soft and sweet taste rather than plain spicy and is recognized as a high quality product in the world. In the past, households bought a bulk of red pepper powder for the whole year annually. Recently, however, as nuclear family is increasing and the lifestyle is becoming simpler, many consumers are purchasing the product in a small batch.
