Cooked paprika is a versatile spice derived from dried and ground peppers, often associated with Hungarian, Spanish, and Balkan cuisines. Its flavor profile ranges from sweet and mild to spicy and smoky, depending on the variety used. Rich in vitamins A, E, and C, paprika provides antioxidant benefits that support immune health and skin vitality. It's also a source of iron, which is essential for oxygen transport in the bloodstream. Cooking paprika enhances its aromatic qualities but may slightly reduce its vitamin content due to heat exposure. Despite its health benefits, some commercial paprika products contain additional sodium or artificial flavorings, so choosing pure, high-quality paprika is important. This spice can boost flavor in dishes without relying on excess fats or sugars, making it a healthy addition to soups, stews, and roasted vegetables.
