Ground Paprika Adds Color And Flavor To Recipes
Price: $17.64USD
McCormick Paprika 18oz 510g
McCormick Paprika is made from carefully dried and ground sweet red pepper pods (Capsicum annuum), producing a mild, slightly sweet spice with a fragrant aroma and vivid red color. Its flavor is gentle rather than hot, making it one of the most versatile spices in the kitchen.
Paprika is often used as much for color as for flavor. A light sprinkle adds visual appeal to dishes like deviled eggs, potato salads, hash browns, and egg dishes, while larger amounts contribute subtle sweetness and depth to stews, sauces, and braises. In traditional dishes such as Hungarian goulash, chicken paprikash, and veal paprikash, paprika is used generously and forms a foundational flavor rather than a garnish.
Because paprika is sensitive to high heat, it’s best added near the end of cooking or gently warmed in oil to release aroma without bitterness. It pairs well with chicken, pork, beef, vegetables, marinades, dressings, and spice rubs, and it blends smoothly with garlic, onion, herbs, and mild acids like tomato or vinegar.
This paprika is mild and sweet in profile. Hungarian and Spanish paprikas may vary in heat and intensity, but McCormick Paprika is designed for broad, everyday use where color, balance, and consistency matter.
Packaged in a tight closing flavor-sealed bulk container with a dual flip-top lid for easy shaking or measuring.
Ingredients: Ground Paprika, Silicon Dioxide added to keep free flowing.
