Vivid color and gentle flavor that suits every heat tolerance make it a dependable garnish and rub base. Cooks wanting a smoky or spicy kick will need a different paprika.

Who it's for

Back of house prep, barbecue rubs and colorful garnishes suit this paprika. Recipes calling for smoky Spanish or hot paprika need a different jar.

Pros and cons

  • Large container for bulk use
  • Gluten free and vegan
Cons
  • No heat for spicy dishes

Performance notes

Sweet red peppers give color and gentle flavor without capsaicin heat. In rubs, the sugars in paprika help meat brown. Like all ground spices it fades with time and light, so store it closed and away from the stove.
