Paprika is made from dried and ground varieties of chili pepper or bell pepper, or a combination thereof.

The spice adds vibrant color and a smoky flavor to foods that can be intensified by heating briefly in oil. While most Americans think of paprika as a garnish, it also provides wonderful seasoning for soups, stews, potatoes and egg and cheese dishes. Paprika can also be added to henna to enhance color.

what else you should know

powdered paprika

While most Americans reach for paprika to garnish deviled eggs, hash browns or potato salads, the spice is used in many world cuisines on a much more frequent basis. The spice is used to lend color and flavor to a variety of soups, stews, rice and bean dishes and braised foods that are traditional to Spain, Morocco, South Africa, Turkey, Portugal, Romania and, of course, Hungary.

Although paprika works wonders as a garnish and seasoning, its flavor truly comes alive when heated gently in oil.
