Member's Mark Spanish Style Paprika, 18 oz.

Smoke-Dried Peppers for a Unique Flavor

Member's Mark™ Paprika™ (18 oz.) is a versatile seasoning that adds a smoky heat with a hint of sweetness to your favorite recipes. Made from ground and dried peppers, this popular spice is a staple in most kitchens. The Spanish-style varieties are prepared from smoke-dried pimento chili peppers, ranging from sweet to hot, providing a range of flavor. The smoke-drying process uses non-direct heat to preserve the vitamins in the peppers. After drying, the peppers are ground with stone wheels for a unique taste.

Using Spanish-Style Paprika

Member's Mark Paprika lets you add flavor to a multitude of dishes. Whether you're making a savory dish, or adding a hint of spice with smokiness to stews, soups, casseroles, vegetables, rice, and sauces, this seasoning is a great addition. The vivid red color also adds visual interest and a zest of flavor to potato salad and deviled eggs. Use the seasoning in fried chicken coating and grilling rubs with salt, pepper, and other spices. The smokiness and color of paprika seasoning adds pizazz to any recipe.

When to Add Paprika

When using Member's Mark Paprika, most recipes call for adding it towards the end of cooking. High heat can lessen the flavor and color of the spice, so adding it at the end of cooking helps ensure the boldest flavor and color. For cold dishes like deviled eggs and potato salads, sprinkle the paprika on top as a garnish for an extra pop of flavor and color.

Benefits of Spanish Paprika

In addition to enhancing the flavor of your dishes, paprika spice provides other benefits. Peppers are very high in vitamin C, with most having six to nine times the amount found in tomatoes based on weight. The seasoning is both a stimulant and antibacterial agent, which can help improve circulation and normalize blood pressure when eaten frequently. Paprika can also help increase saliva and stomach acid production for improved digestion. The hotter varieties of the seasoning may help improve circulation when eaten regularly.
