This is a dark red paprika with a fine texture and sweet mild flavor accented by a hint of smokiness but with a distinctly sharper and bolder flavor. Paprika has become a key ingredient in a variety of spice blends from chili powders, seasoning salts and dry rubs. It has a taste ranging from sweet and mild to pungent and fiery. The stability of the color pigmentation in the plant holds up well in long, slow cooking methods. The powder varies in color from bright red to rusty brown. You will most assuredly see paprika in some classic dishes that include chicken in paprika sauce, Hungarian goulash, Spanish Paella and chorizos, and the famous Catalonian Romesco sauce. Many Spanish, Portuguese, and Turkish recipes use paprika for soups, stews, casseroles, and vegetables. In India paprika is sometimes used in tandoori.

FAQ
How old are these spices?
We purchase what we need every year right after the spices are harvested. These spices are as fresh as you can get. They are not sitting in a warehouse for multiple years. The oldest spices we carry will be one year old compared to the commodity market which warehouses spices for 10+ years before selling them to you.
