How to Use
A sweet but sassy relative of the chili pepper, paprika is used to add warm, natural color and a mildly spicy flavor to soups, stews, grains, and a variety of hors d’oeuvres. Fragrantly sweet and colorful, this is a great spice to have on hand. Add it to the flour used for dusting poultry, meats and seafoods. Include it in salad dressings where it will both add color and work as an emulsifier, helping to combine the oil and vinegar.
