Paprika Powder

Paprika Powder is a ground spice made from dried red peppers, widely used in Hungarian, Spanish and many global cuisines for its color, mild-to-hot flavor and ability to season stews, rubs and sauces. It is prized both as a flavoring and a natural coloring agent in dishes from paprika chicken to chorizo and goulash. Though typically used in small amounts, paprika is a nutrient-dense spice — notably rich in vitamin A (2670) per 100 g — and also contributes fiber, minerals and plant compounds that carry antioxidant activity. Because it’s concentrated, a pinch adds flavor and micronutrients without adding much energy or fat to a meal. Paprika is a good way to boost the antioxidant and micronutrient profile of dishes; its carotenoid content and mineral levels help explain its traditional use as both a flavor enhancer and a colorful garnish. Keep in mind that, like all ground spices, freshness matters for flavor and potency, so store it in a cool, dark place and use modest amounts.
