Description

Smoked Paprika is a unique variety of spice that has a delightfully smoky and earthy flavor profile, making it a favored choice for many culinary preparations. It is derived from ground, dried, and smoked red chili peppers, originally native to Central and South America, but now predominantly cultivated in Spain and Hungary.

Infused with bold and robust flavors, Smoked Paprika adds a rich, deep-red coloring to the dishes that makes them visually appealing. Compared to regular paprika, it exhibits a pronounced smoky essence due to the traditional process of oak-wood smoking, which sets it apart.

It pairs well with an array of dishes like barbeques, stews, roasted vegetables, and a multitude of Spanish, Mexican and Hungarian dishes. Extremely versatile, Smoked Paprika can transform any dish from basic to intriguingly tasteful, while also bringing various health benefits due to its high levels of vitamins, iron, and antioxidants.

Grocery Store Location

Smoked Paprika can typically be found in the spice aisle of the grocery store. It may also be located in the section that carries international or ethnic foods, particularly in the Hispanic or Spanish section.
