Homemade Tahini

I prefer to make my own tahini as needed. The toasted sesame seeds are amazing for this purpose.
I love Gochugaru Chile flakes for making my homemade gochujang paste, so fresh and delicious!

Better than I had thought it would be.

Great hot pepper flakes!

I love the Korean chili flakes without the seeds. I use them in all kinds of dishes (stir-frys, soups, casseroles, etc.) They have a pleasant kick but are not abusive!
