Description

Botanical name: Capsicum annum

Spice Zen’s Certified Organic Sweet Paprika is sourced from Spain and ground from ripe, mild red peppers that develop a rich colour and natural sweetness as they mature. Once ground, the colour may vary from a vivid red to a rich reddish brown depending on the harvest.

Paprika is native to South America but has long been embraced by European and Mediterranean cuisines, especially in Hungary and Spain. It is central to dishes such as chicken paprikash and Spanish-style chorizo, and is often used to enrich soups, stews, rice dishes and rustic casseroles. Sweet paprika also blends easily into marinades, salad dressings and spice rubs, offering colour and gentle depth without adding heat.

We pack our sweet paprika fresh in recyclable amber glass jars to protect flavour, colour and the paprika’s delicate natural oils.

Nutrient Profile

Sweet paprika naturally contains carotenoids and other plant compounds that contribute to its colour, gentle sweetness and aromatic flavour. These naturally occurring components shape the spice’s visual and sensory qualities.

Wellness Tradition

Paprika has been valued in European and Mediterranean cooking traditions for the warmth, colour and balance it brings to food. It is often used to enrich dishes and create depth in sauces, stews and rustic home-style cooking.
