It does come in a coarse grind and a fine grind. I just consider the coarse grind to be fine too. I suppose I'm just confusing the issue but you're right - when you buy it, it comes in coarse and fine. The coarse grind is for making kim chee and the fine grind is for making chili or weird looking reddish meatloaf.

Really?

Huh, I only found coarse. That must be the top seller.

So the coarse grind is actually sort of crystalline looking to me, not
to further confuse things!

What I do notice is that Korean pepper is almost always less hot tasting
than other chili powders. I use it in dishes one might not expect, like
shrimp scampi - it totally works there.
