Spanish paprika, known as "pimentón," is a versatile spice derived from dried and ground red peppers, primarily cultivated in Spain. It comes in three main varieties: sweet (dulce), bittersweet (agridulce), and hot (picante), each offering distinct flavors that enhance traditional Spanish dishes like chorizo, paella, and stews. Rich in color, its vibrant red hue not only adds visual appeal but also signifies high levels of antioxidants such as beta-carotene. These compounds support immunity and combat inflammation. Spanish paprika is also a source of vitamin A, E, and dietary fiber while being low in calories and fat. However, its sodium content may vary depending on preparation, so moderation is key, especially in processed foods. A staple in Mediterranean cuisine, Spanish paprika not only elevates flavors but also contributes to a balanced diet when used thoughtfully.
