What it is

Smoked paprika is a spice made from peppers that have been dried and then smoked over wood fires. The smoking process gives the paprika a distinct, deep flavor and aroma. It is a ground powder, often with a vibrant red color.

Why it's used

Manufacturers use smoked paprika primarily for its rich, smoky flavor and color. It adds depth and a savory, barbecue-like taste to a wide variety of foods. It is commonly found in spice blends, marinades, rubs, sauces, and processed meats.

Health notes

Smoked paprika is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA when used as a food ingredient. It is a source of antioxidants, such as carotenoids, which are beneficial compounds found in many fruits and vegetables. International bodies like JECFA have evaluated paprika and its extracts, and EFSA has also reviewed its use. At typical dietary levels, it is not associated with adverse health effects.

Allergen info

Paprika is not derived from any of the nine FDA major allergens. It does not contain gluten.
