What it is

Red pepper and paprika are derived from ground, dried fruits of the Capsicum annuum plant. The specific variety of pepper and the processing methods determine the final color and flavor, ranging from mild and sweet to hot and pungent.

Why it's used

These ingredients are primarily used to add color and flavor to foods. They can impart a warm, reddish-orange hue and a range of tastes from sweet to spicy, making them common in spice blends, sauces, processed meats, and snack foods.

Health notes

Red pepper and paprika are generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use in food. They are sources of vitamins and antioxidants, such as Vitamin A and capsaicin. International bodies like JECFA have evaluated spices, and while they are not typically associated with adverse health effects at normal dietary levels, some individuals may experience digestive upset from very spicy varieties.
