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

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.
