SWEET PAPRIKA SPICES

* RESEALABLE BAG *

COMPOSITION : PAPRIKA POWDER.

HISTORY :

It was the Spaniards who discovered the gustatory qualities of this red spice on their arrival in America. The seed, which acclimatises very easily, ensures its diffusion on the Asian and African continents. However, Spain was the first country to welcome it in the 17th century.

More recently, in certain European countries, such as Hungary, paprika replaced pepper in times of blockade, and was nicknamed the "poor man's pepper". Great chefs then gave it back all its nobility.

PROPERTIES :

The nutritional value of the fruit, which contains vitamin C as well as B1 and B2, is the reason for buying paprika. The spice has antiseptic properties and stimulates digestion.

COOKING :

The dried and ground spice is more or less strong. So watch your taste buds! You can buy sweet, hot or sweet and sour paprika.

Paprika is still the star of typical Spanish dishes, such as octopus, escabeche sauce, or potatoes with riojana.

Paprika adds spice to many cold meats, such as chorizo! But it is also very present in Maghreb cuisine, flavouring tagines. Hungarians are particularly fond of it, and it is found in goulash and many other popular Hungarian dishes.

There are many ways to cook with paprika.

Buying paprika means daring to make a difference by replacing pepper with a light sprinkling of paprika. Our online paprika shop offers you ground paprika, ready to use!
