Sweet paprika powder
Description
Sweet paprika powder is a fine, intensely red powder with a mild, sweet aroma and a delicate, almost buttery flavor, without any noticeable heat. It is made by grinding dried sweet red peppers, which gives it an attractive color and pleasant scent, enhancing dishes both visually and in taste. It is rich in vitamin A in the form of beta-carotene, vitamin C, antioxidants, and small amounts of minerals, while being low in calories. Regular use may support vision, immunity, and have anti-inflammatory effects. Sweet paprika is versatile — it pairs perfectly with soups, stews, meat and vegetable dishes, marinades, sauces, rice dishes, and roasted vegetables, as well as being a finishing touch for eggs or salads. To preserve its aroma, store it tightly sealed in a dry, cool, and dark place, away from moisture and light; it is best used within 6–12 months.
