Paprika is a vibrant red spice made from ground dried peppers, offering a sweet, smoky, or spicy flavor depending on the variety. Native to Central America, paprika gained prominence in Hungarian and Spanish cuisine, becoming a staple in dishes like goulash and paella. Rich in antioxidants, such as carotenoids and vitamin E, it contributes to immune support and skin health. Paprika also contains vitamin A, which promotes vision and overall well-being. While low in calories and free from fat, it can enhance flavor without the need for excess salt or sugar, making it a heart-conscious seasoning choice. However, spicier versions may irritate sensitive stomachs, and excessive use won’t add significant nutritional punch due to its small serving size. Its versatility makes it a cherished addition to marinades, rubs, and roasted vegetables while providing a visual pop to meals.
