Smoked Paprika
A little smoke, a lot of flavor! Smoked paprika brings rich pepper flavor, a smoky aroma, and vibrant red color to everyday cooking.
Uses
Stir into chili, soups, beans, sauces, and marinades. Mix into rubs for chicken, pork, or beef, or sprinkle over eggs and roasted vegetables. Warm briefly over gentle heat when cooking in oil to keep the paprika from scorching.
From the Colonel
Paprika is made from finely ground red pepper pods, with colors ranging from bright orange-red to deep red. The addition of a fine smoky flavor makes this paprika hard to pass up.
