Smoked Paprika

Smoked paprika (Capsicum annuum) delivers a distinctive smoky depth to savory dishes, from Spanish chorizo to roasted vegetables and grilled meats. Rich in antioxidants like capsaicin and carotenoids, this spice supports circulation and may reduce inflammation. The slow-smoking process concentrates flavor while preserving nutritional compounds. Use sparingly in cooking—a little goes far. Not recommended for those with capsaicin sensitivity or nightshade allergies. Store in a cool, dark place to maintain potency and prevent flavor degradation.
