Meet Taekyung.
Rooted in Korean flavor.
From food ingredients to the red pepper in your cupboard, the Taekyung name belongs to a much wider story of Korean seasoning.
Flavor has been part
of the story for decades.
Nongshim Taekyung traces its beginnings to 1979, when the business was established as Yusong Refrigeration Corporation. It adopted the Taekyung Nongsan name in 1984 and the Nongshim Taekyung name in 2023.
Its business now spans ingredient areas including extracts, powdered seasonings, dried flakes, sauces and flavored oils. The gochugaru collection is one practical way for home cooks to meet that wider world of food ingredients.

Korean culinary style is not the same as growing origin. The ingredient statement and origin information on the product package are the right places to check the item you receive.
Company-level quality programs also have a specific scope. For an individual product’s dietary or certification requirements, use its current label and the relevant certificate.
