What Is Korean Black Bean Powder?

Korean black bean powder — known in Korea as konggaru (콩가루) — is a roasted soybean powder made by toasting whole seoritae black beans and milling them into a fine, nutty flour, used for coating rice cakes, baking, and dusting desserts.

It's the black bean powder Korean kitchens have used for generations — the coating on injeolmi, the dust on bingsu, the nutty swirl in a latte. If you've heard it called bokkeun konggaru — "roasted bean powder" — that's this.

Black Bean Powder vs. Kinako

Kinako is Japan's roasted soybean flour; konggaru is Korea's. Made the same way — whole soybeans, roasted, then milled — so they're interchangeable. This one is the black soybean kinako of Korea: 100% seoritae instead of yellow soybeans, for a deeper, roastier flavor.

Point 1

100% Seoritae Black Beans

One ingredient, nothing else. Whole Korean-grown seoritae — black skin, green heart — selected and cleaned at the mill in Seongju. Full contents: 100% black soybeans.

Point 2

Roasted Low and Slow, Then Micro-Milled

Whole beans are roasted at low temperature in-house, then micro-milled into a fine, smooth roasted soybean powder. Slow roasting keeps the nutty aroma deep and the color even.

How to Use It

Injeolmi & rice cakes

The classic coating for injeolmi; works on any mochi or rice cake where you'd use kinako.

Injeolmi bingsu & toast

Dust it over shaved ice, or layer with honey between toasted milk bread.

Baking

Swap about ¼ of the wheat flour in cookies and pound cakes; reduce liquids slightly.

Lattes & smoothies

1–2 tablespoons into milk, oat milk, or a banana smoothie.

Yogurt & ice cream

A nutty finishing dust.

Porridge & overnight oats

Stir in for a roasted base note.

What is kongguksu?

Korea's Summer Soybean Noodle Soup

Kongguksu is a chilled Korean noodle soup served in a rich, creamy soybean broth — a summer staple across Korea. Traditionally the broth means soaking, boiling and grinding soybeans by hand.

This soybean powder for cold noodle soup does that work for you. Soybeans are cleaned, roasted in-house and micro-milled into a fine powder, then blended with roasted peanuts and sesame for a nutty, creamy broth. Stir it into cold water and the broth is ready.

Why this powder

Two Things Worth Knowing

01

No Soaking, No Grinding

Skip the overnight soak, the boiling and the blender. Mix the powder with cold water, chill, and pour over cooked noodles.

02

Roasted In-House, Micro-Milled

Soybeans are roasted at our Seongju facility and micro-milled into a fine powder, so the broth comes out smooth and evenly thick every time.

How to

Broth in Three Steps

01

Mix

Stir the powder into cold water until smooth.

02

Chill

Chill the broth, or add ice.

03

Pour

Pour over cooked, rinsed noodles. Top with cucumber or tomato.

Adjust the thickness to taste — more powder for a richer broth.

The rice cake coating powder Korean kitchens call kongomul, in the 1 kg pack. Sweet roasted soybean powder, made for rice cake shops, bakeries and kitchens that go through it steadily. We roast the whole bean at our own plant in Korea and mill it straight after — not months earlier, somewhere else.

What is rice cake coating powder?

Definition

Korean rice cakes are sticky, so they are rolled in a dry powder before serving. That rice cake coating powder is called kongomul — soybeans roasted whole, milled fine, then blended with a little sugar and salt. It is closest to Japanese kinako, with two differences: the roast is taken further, and the seasoning is already in the bag. Without the sugar and salt it would be plain roasted soybean powder. You do not mix anything. Open it, and dust it on.

Four things worth knowing

Check point

Nutrition figures below are taken from the product label; the rest describe how the product is made and packed.

0km Between roasting and milling

Both happen on the same line, on the same day. Aroma starts fading the moment a bean is milled.

27g Protein per 100 g

From the soybean itself. No isolate or concentrate is added.

25g Dietary fibre per 100 g

The whole bean is roasted and milled, hull included.

1kg Ten packs per case

A 500 g retail pack is also produced, sixteen to a case.

What goes in

Ingredients

Three ingredients, and one process decision that matters more than any of them.

Whole raw soybeans before roasting - Samjin food sweet roasted soybean powder

Raw beans as they arrive, before roasting.

Whole soybean

We buy raw beans, not pre-roasted ones. They are roasted in the shell and milled with the hull left in, which is where the fibre and the body of the powder come from. Hulling first would give a paler, softer powder and lose most of what makes kongomul worth eating.

Sugar and salt

Seasoning is already in the bag, in the proportion Korean households use. The salt is roasted salt, a Korean type made by heating sea salt to a high temperature. It rounds the sweetness rather than making the powder taste salty.

INGREDIENT STATEMENT — in order of quantity

Soybean Sugar (sugar, starch) Roasted salt

Ingredient ratios are not disclosed. Full origin declarations are printed on the pack and are available on the specification sheet on request.

How it is made

Process

A rice cake coating powder lives or dies on the roast. Too light and it tastes of raw bean; too dark and it turns bitter on the rice cake.

Intake & inspection› Sorting› Electric cauldron roasting› Milling› Blending› Metal detection› Weighing & packing

Roasted soybean powder being scooped from a bowl after milling - Samjin food

We roast in electric cauldrons and hold the roasting condition for each production run rather than working to a single fixed setting. Beans vary by harvest, and the roast has to follow them. After milling, sugar and salt are blended in — not sprinkled on afterwards — so the seasoning is even through the bag rather than concentrated in whatever you scoop first.

Where the roasting happens

Roasted bean loses aroma steadily from the moment it is milled. That is why the gap between roasting and milling matters.

We buy raw beans and do both steps ourselves. Roasting and milling run on the same line on the same day, at our plant in Seongju.

What it tastes like

Taste

Deeply roasted and nutty, closer to toasted sesame than to raw bean. It is sweet — this is a seasoned coating, not a plain flour, and the sugar is there so the powder works straight from the bag. The salt sits underneath and keeps the sweetness from going flat. On a warm rice cake the powder softens slightly and the roast comes forward. Texture is fine but not powdery-smooth; the hull is still in there, and you can feel it.

How to use it

How to

No mixing, no cooking. It is finished as it comes.

Injeolmi bingsu — shaved ice under red bean, rice cake and a heavy dusting of the powder.

Rice cake shops

The use it was made for. Rice cake is cut into cubes and rolled in the powder just before serving, so the coating stays dry. At 1 kg the pack lasts a working day rather than a batch.

Shaved ice and frozen desserts

Injeolmi bingsu is the Korean version — shaved ice with condensed milk, red bean and rice cake, finished with the powder. The roast holds up against cold and sweetness better than a plain flour would.

Bakery and dessert kitchens

Folded into doughs and creams, dusted over frozen desserts, or used as a finishing powder. This rice cake coating powder behaves like a seasoned nut powder, so it works anywhere a roasted bean or ground sesame powder would.

Frequently asked questions

FAQ

How is this different from kinako?

Both are roasted soybean powder. Kongomul is roasted further, which gives a darker colour and a stronger nutty flavour, and it comes already blended with sugar and salt. Kinako is usually unsweetened, so it is seasoned at the point of use. If a recipe calls for kinako plus sugar, this is close to that already mixed.

Does it contain allergens?

Yes. This product contains soy. It is manufactured in a facility that also handles sesame, peanut and wheat products.

Is there an unsweetened version?

Yes. Our roasted soybean powder is the same bean roasted and milled without sugar or salt, for buyers who season their own formulation. It is available in 500 g and 1 kg.

Can I use it as a drink powder?

You can stir it into milk, and some people do. It is formulated as a coating rather than a beverage, so it does not dissolve completely and will settle. For drinking, our mixed grain powders are made for that purpose.

What is the difference between the 1 kg and the 500 g pack?

Pack size and case configuration. The 1 kg pack ships ten to a case and is intended for kitchens and shops; the 500 g pack ships sixteen to a case and is the retail size. Ingredient sourcing differs between the two, and the declarations are printed on each pack.

What makes this different from other soybean powders?

Where the roasting happens. We buy raw beans and do both steps at our own plant, milling straight after the roast rather than importing finished powder. Origin declarations for each ingredient are printed on the pack and available on the specification sheet.

Do you supply this in bulk or under private label?

Yes. We export to the United States, Canada, Australia, Hong Kong and China, and we produce under OEM and ODM arrangements. Roast level and particle size can be adjusted to your specification.

Soybean powder for shaved ice is an all-in-one bingsu topping: Korean-grown soybeans, roasted in-house and micro-milled into a fine powder, then blended with sugar, milk cream, red bean and salt — the nutty layer that finishes a bowl of Korean injeolmi bingsu.

Bingsu began centuries ago as a royal summer delicacy in Korea. Today it is the icon of Seoul's café culture — soft milk snow, shaved fine as powder and piled high, topped with sweet red beans, chewy rice cake, and a generous dusting of roasted soybean powder.

What is soybean powder for shaved ice?

An all-in-one bingsu topping: roasted, micro-milled Korean soybean powder blended with sugar, milk cream, red bean and salt. Sprinkle it over milk snow for Korean injeolmi bingsu.

Is this the same as kinako?

It's built on Korea's roasted soybean powder (konggaru), which has a similar nutty character to kinako — blended here with sugar, milk cream and red bean specifically for bingsu.

Do I need a bingsu machine?

No. Frozen milk and a blender make fluffy milk snow at home.

Dusted over bingsu with condensed milk and red bean. The roast holds up against cold and sweetness better than a plain flour would.

Yogurt, toast, ice cream

Spooned over plain yogurt, or onto buttered toast. It behaves like a seasoned nut powder, so it works anywhere kinako or ground sesame would.

Who makes it

Manufacturer

Own plant, no outsourcing

Intake, sorting, roasting, milling, blending, metal detection and packing all run in house, which is why roast and particle size can be adjusted to order.

Also an ingredient supplier

The same lines supply soybean and grain powders to rice cake producers, bakeries and food manufacturers. OEM and ODM production is available.

Frequently asked questions

FAQ

How is this different from kinako?

Both are roasted soybean powder. Kongomul is roasted further, which gives a darker colour and a stronger nutty flavour, and it comes already blended with sugar and salt. Kinako is usually unsweetened, so it is seasoned at the point of use. If a recipe calls for kinako plus sugar, this is close to that already mixed.

Does it contain allergens?

Yes. This product contains soy. It is manufactured in a facility that also handles sesame, peanut and wheat products.

Can I use it as a drink powder?

You can stir it into milk, and some people do. It is formulated as a coating rather than a beverage, so it does not dissolve completely and will settle. For drinking, our mixed grain powders are made for that purpose.

Is there an unsweetened version?

Yes. Our roasted soybean powder is the same bean roasted and milled without sugar or salt, for buyers who season their own formulation. It is available in 500 g and 1 kg.

Where are the ingredients from?

The soybean and the salt are both Korean. Sugar is the only ingredient not of Korean origin.

Do you supply this in bulk or under private label?

Yes. We export to the United States, Canada, Australia, Hong Kong and China, and we produce under OEM and ODM arrangements. Roast level and particle size can be adjusted to your specification.

About

Roasted soybean powder made from one ingredient

Yellow soybeans are roasted whole in a kettle, then ground into a fine golden powder. The ingredient line reads simply: soybeans, 100%. There is no sugar, no salt, no flavouring and no preservative, so what you taste is the bean itself. In Japan this ingredient is called kinako; in Korea it is bokkeun kong-garu.

Because nothing is seasoned, the seasoning is left to you. Sweeten it with honey or sugar, or leave it plain — either way works only when the ingredient list is this short.

Origin

Grown in Korea, milled in Korea

Every soybean in this pouch is grown in Korea. Beans are sourced from domestic farms and brought to our own plant in Seongju, Gyeongsangbuk-do, where sorting, roasting, milling and packing all happen under one roof. Nothing is blended in from abroad, which is why the front of the pack states 100% Korean soybeans without qualification.

With a single-ingredient food, where that one ingredient comes from is the whole of its quality. This size exists for buyers who choose by origin.

Roasting

Kettle-roasted, the traditional way

The beans are roasted in electric kettles — the old Korean method of pan-roasting in a cauldron, with the heat source switched to electricity. Beans touch the kettle surface directly, which is where the toasty aroma comes from, while steady electric heat keeps them evenly roasted rather than scorched. They are milled in the same facility before they cool. The shorter the gap between roasting and milling, the less aroma is lost.

How to Use

Four ways to use roasted soybean powder

No cooking required — stir it in or dust it over. Press the zipper closed after opening and the aroma keeps until next time.

Check

Roasted soybean powder is not raw soybean flour

This product is fully roasted and ready to eat as it is. Raw (uncooked) soybean flour is a separate ingredient, used in Korean noodle doughs and in cabbage soup, and it must be cooked — if that is what a recipe calls for, look for raw soybean flour instead. For rice cake coatings, drinks and toppings, where nothing will be cooked afterwards, this roasted version is the one you want.

FAQ

About

What is roasted soybean powder?

Roasted soybean powder is a fine flour made by dry-roasting whole yellow soybeans and grinding them into a nutty, golden powder — the same ingredient known as kinako in Japan and bokkeun kong-garu in Korea.

This Korean roasted soybean powder is made from a single ingredient: soybeans. Nothing is added — no sugar, no salt, no preservatives. It is roasted and milled in our own facility in Seongju, Korea, and shipped fresh.

All-In-One Blend1kg · 2.2lbSince 1983

WHAT IS BINGSU?

Korea's beloved shaved ice, from royal treat to K-drama favorite

Bingsu began centuries ago as a royal summer delicacy in Korea. Today it is the icon of Seoul's café culture — not watery crushed ice, but soft milk snow, shaved fine as powder and piled high. On top go sweet red beans, chewy rice cake, and a generous dusting of roasted soybean powder. That final nutty layer is what this pouch is for.

Injeolmi bingsu at a Korean café — milk snow, red bean, roasted soybean powder.

Skip the ingredient hunt

Most bingsu recipes send you searching — roasted soybean powder from a Korean market, condensed milk, sugar, red bean… We blended them all, the way Korean dessert shops do. One pouch. Zero hunting.
