Paprika is a vibrant red spice made from ground dried peppers, originating from Central America but widely associated with Hungarian, Spanish, and Middle Eastern cuisines. Its flavor ranges from sweet and mild to smoky and spicy, depending on the variety of peppers used. Paprika is rich in vitamins A, E, and B6, as well as antioxidants like carotenoids, which support eye health and combat inflammation. It also contains capsaicin, a compound that may boost metabolism and promote heart health. Low in calories and fat, paprika is a flavorful way to enhance dishes while adding a nutritional boost. However, those with spice sensitivities or certain digestive conditions might experience discomfort with spicier varieties. Commonly used in soups, stews, marinades, and rubs, this versatile spice adds both color and depth to a wide range of global recipes.
