smoked sweet paprika

Description

Smoked sweet paprika is a finely ground, intensely red powder with a deep, smoky aroma that combines subtle sweetness with hints of smokiness. Its flavor is mild, without heat, yet full of complex tones that give dishes a pleasant color and aromatic depth, characteristic of Spanish and Mediterranean cuisine. In terms of nutritional value, smoked paprika contains few calories and is a source of beta-carotene (provitamin A), vitamin E, and antioxidants that may support eye health and the immune system, as well as have anti-inflammatory effects. It pairs perfectly with meats, stews, braised vegetables, fish, sauces, spreads, and marinades, as well as dishes like paella, goulash, or dips. Store in an airtight, opaque container in a cool, dry, and dark place, away from moisture and heat sources; for optimal aroma, it is best used within 6–12 months, while whole pepper fruits retain their aroma longer.
