It was me. I know there was a bulk spice website and thought the domain was bulkspice.com but AI can’t find any records to that effect so it must be something else. I have no idea as to the quality and just recently learned that some spices/herbs might not be the greatest. Only makes sense since many of them come from third world countries or places that aren’t worried about quality.

Thanks for the link. I think it was the Korean red pepper aka Gochugaru pepper I was looking for to make Kimchi and found a source for what’s supposed to be the best ground and ready to use from a Korean cooking site. I didn’t realize how big the package would be so I got two. I now have enough to make kimchi for years. LOL

Most Gochugaru is grown in China but this brand inspects, processes and packages them in Korea.

Ironically enough, I also found a Mother Earth article on how to grow your own Gochugaru for kimchi and it had a recommendation for seeds so I also have a packet of seeds. Will grow some this year and see how they do. If they do good,I’ll grow them every year and save seeds so when I finally run out of the ground Gochugaru, I’ll be able to grow, dry and grind my own.
