Description
Paprika powder, an ingredient for countless dishes
Paprika powder has a slightly pungent paprika flavour and also gives your dishes a beautiful red colour. The powder is not made from the block-shaped peppers you know from the supermarket, but from specially selected pointed peppers. This is the milder tasting member of the chilli family and grows in warm climates. Paprika therefore actually means 'sweet pepper'. After removing the seeds they are dried and ground. You can use the powder as an ingredient or even as a base for many different dishes.
Order paprika powder online
The paprika powder that you can order online at Natural Spices comes from Spain. You can buy it in a package of 450 grams or 1, 5 or 25 kilos. In the Netherlands, paprika powder is sold in two different flavours: mildly sweet and spicy. The taste is influenced by drying and processing. The powder which you can order from us is mildly sweet. It is important that you keep the spice cool, dry and dark after purchase. This is because it attracts moisture and under the influence of sunlight it loses its quality. By the way, this paprika powder is not smoked powder, but merely dried and ground. You can also order the smoked version on our website.
In the kitchen
The spice can be used in both hot and cold dishes. Its slightly pungent and at the same time slightly sweet taste suits many different ingredients. Paprika powder can be added to soups, stews and meat dishes. You can also use it as part of home-made spice mixtures and it is an indispensable ingredient in the goulash. This ground spice is widely used in Mexican cuisine. It is often confused with cayenne pepper and chilli powder, but both have a much sharper taste. In addition to its flavour, the powder can also be used as decoration. Think for example of salads and stuffed eggs.
The healthy properties of paprika powder
Paprika powder is full of nutrients such as vitamins A and C. It also contains essential minerals and proteins. All these nutrients contribute to a strong resistance. The powder that you can buy online here is paprika powder without salt. The absence of salt makes this ground spice extra healthy.
