Our Sweet Paprika is a common addition to our dishes. It has a distinct sweet flavor which lends itself to many uses like spicing up soups, stews, meat dishes, sauces and salads. It is a great way to add a delicious flavor while still keeping meals healthy.

What’s in itsweet paprika

How to use it

The everyday paprika. Sweet, no heat, vibrant color. Dust on deviled eggs, stir into mac and cheese, sprinkle on hummus, or shake over roasted potatoes. The go-to for any recipe that says 'paprika' without specifying a type. One teaspoon per serving adds color and a gentle sweet pepper flavor. Also great in cream sauces, on fried eggs, or mixed into chicken or tuna salad.

What it goes with

Sweet paprika's subtle pepper character pairs best with teas that won't overpower it. Our Ceylon's clean brightness matches beautifully. For a more specific bridge, our Darjeeling shares the β-ionone that develops from paprika's pigments during drying.

Also in these blends

On its own, this is the straight thing. It also goes into these blends, each made for a different evening. Read about Paprika →

I use dillweed often. This dill is fresh and has a nice aroma. I use it in marinades, salad dressings, and on fish. Good stuff.
