McCormick Paprika 5.25lbs 2.38kg
McCormick Paprika is produced from carefully dried and ground sweet red pepper pods (Capsicum annuum), delivering a mild, slightly sweet flavor with a fragrant aroma and vivid red color. It contains no heat, making it a highly versatile paprika suited for broad culinary use.
In professional kitchens, paprika is used as much for color control as for flavor. Small amounts add visual appeal to finished dishes, while larger quantities provide gentle sweetness and depth in sauces, stews, braises, and classic preparations such as Hungarian goulash and chicken paprikash, where paprika functions as a primary flavor component rather than a garnish.
Paprika is sensitive to high heat. For best results, add it toward the end of cooking or bloom it gently in oil to release aroma without dulling color or introducing bitterness. It performs reliably with poultry, pork, beef, vegetables, marinades, dressings, and spice rubs, and integrates smoothly with garlic, onion, herbs, and tomato-based or lightly acidic preparations.
This is a mild, sweet paprika intended for consistent, everyday foodservice use. While regional paprikas such as Hungarian or Spanish varieties may differ in heat or intensity, McCormick Paprika is formulated for balance, uniform color, and dependable results across high-volume applications.
Packaged in a 5.25 lb flavor-sealed gallon jug with a dual flip-top lid for efficient shaking or measuring in commercial kitchens.
Ingredients: Ground Paprika, Silicon Dioxide added to keep free flowing.

- Q: Is this paprika intended for garnish or cooking?
- A: Both. It’s commonly used as a finishing garnish for color, but also performs well in sauces, stews, braises, rubs, and marinades when used in appropriate quantities.
- Q: How does paprika hold up to heat?
