What it is

Spices are aromatic or pungent vegetable substances used for flavoring food. They can be derived from seeds, fruits, roots, bark, or vegetative substances. Paprika is a spice made from dried, ground red peppers, often Capsicum annuum.

Why it's used

Spices and paprika are used to add flavor and color to a wide variety of foods. They are common in savory dishes, sauces, marinades, processed meats, and snack foods. Paprika, in particular, provides a mild, sweet flavor and a red to orange hue.

Health notes

Spices and paprika are generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA when used for flavoring. They are typically consumed in small amounts as part of a varied diet. International bodies like JECFA and EFSA have evaluated various spices and flavorings. While generally considered safe, some individuals may experience sensitivities or digestive upset from certain spices.

Allergen info

Spices are not among the nine major allergens designated by the FDA. However, some spice blends may be processed in facilities that handle allergens, leading to potential cross-contamination.
