About Red pepper threads

Red Pepper Threads, also known as chili threads or "sil-gochu" in Korean cuisine, are thin strands made from dried red chili peppers. Popular in East Asian and Mediterranean dishes, they add both a mild heat and visual appeal to meals like soups, stews, salads, and grilled meat. These threads are rich in capsaicin, a compound linked to antioxidant properties, metabolism-boosting effects, and improved circulation. They also provide a small dose of vitamins A, C, and E, which support immune health and skin vitality. While relatively low in calories, their sharp spice profile means they should be used sparingly to avoid overwhelming dishes. Notably, some varieties may contain added preservatives, so choosing minimally processed threads ensures maximum nutritional benefit. Versatile and vibrant, Red Pepper Threads are an excellent way to enhance flavor while adding a pop of fiery color to your plate.
