What it is
Corn oil is a vegetable oil extracted from the germ of corn. Paprika is a spice made from dried, ground red peppers, typically of the species *Capsicum annuum*. When used together, they often serve as a coloring agent and flavor enhancer.
Why it's used
This combination is frequently used in processed foods to add a reddish-orange hue and a mild, slightly sweet flavor. It can be found in frozen meals, deli items, and prepared sandwiches, contributing to both visual appeal and taste.
