Description

Botanical Name: Capsicum annuum

Spice Zen’s Certified Organic Smoked Paprika is made from sun-ripened peppers grown and traditionally smoked in Spain. The peppers are slowly dried over hardwood before being ground into a fine, aromatic powder. This traditional smoking process gives the paprika a warm, earthy depth and a clean, lingering smokiness that brings richness to both modern and traditional recipes.

Smoked paprika has long been associated with Spanish and Hungarian cooking, where it is used in paella, stews, marinades and rustic vegetable dishes. Today it is a versatile pantry staple found in kitchens around the world. Its warm, rounded flavour complements roasted meats, beans, grilled vegetables, soups, dips and slow-cooked dishes, adding colour and character without strong heat.

Wellness Tradition

Paprika has been valued in European and Mediterranean cooking for the warmth and richness it brings to food. Smoked paprika naturally contains carotenoids, capsanthin and other plant compounds that contribute to its vibrant colour, mild heat and aromatic flavour.
Traditional cultural context only, not a therapeutic claim.
