Overview
Finely ground whole ripe paprika pods give this McCormick Culinary seasoning its mild, slightly sweet pepper flavor and red color. The pods come from warm, dry climates and are packed in a bulk container sized for a commercial kitchen.
Consistent flavor and color in a quantity that suits a line kitchen are what it does well. A home cook will struggle to finish it, and the listing names no container type or seal.
Who it's for
Commercial kitchens, caterers and big batch cooks seasoning proteins, dressings and rubs. Occasional home cooks should buy a jar instead.
Pros and cons
- Bulk quantity for commercial kitchens
- Finely ground for even color
- No added MSG
- Kosher and vegan
- Far too much for occasional use
- Container type not listed
- Mild, no heat
Performance notes
Fine grinding spreads color and flavor evenly through rubs, marinades and dressings. Freshness depends on storage: the maker says to use dry utensils and store it out of direct light in a dry place.
