Peppers, the raw material in paprika production, originated from North America, where they grow in the wild in Central Mexico and have for centuries been cultivated by the peoples of Mexico. The peppers were later introduced to the Old World, to Spain in the 16th century, as part of the Columbian exchange.[11][12]

The plant used to make the Hungarian version of the spice was first grown in 1569. Central European paprika was hot until the 1920s, when a Szeged breeder found a plant that produced sweet fruit, which he grafted onto other plants.[9]

Hungary is a major source of paprika,[17] and it is the spice most closely associated with Hungary.[18] The spice was first used in Hungarian cuisine in the early 19th century.[18] It is available in different grades:

The most common Spanish paprika, pimentn de la Vera, has a distinct smoky flavor and aroma, as it is dried by smoking, typically using oak wood.[19] Currently, according to the Denomination of Origin Regulation Council (Consejo Regulador de la DOP "Pimentn de La Vera"), the crop of La Vera paprika covers around 1,500 hectares (3,700 acres) and has an annual production of 4.5 million kg (5,000 short tons), certified as Denomination of Origin.[20]

Hungarian national dishes incorporating paprika include gulys, a meat soup, prklt, a stew called internationally goulash, and paprikash (paprika gravy: a Hungarian recipe combining chicken, broth, paprika, and sour cream). In Moroccan cuisine, paprika (tahmira) is usually augmented by the addition of a small amount of olive oil blended into it. Many dishes call for paprika (colorau) in Portuguese cuisine for taste and color.[citation needed]

The red, orange, or yellow color of paprika powder derives from its mix of carotenoids.[10] Yellow-orange paprika colors derive primarily from -carotene and -carotene (provitamin A compounds), zeaxanthin, lutein and -cryptoxanthin, whereas red colors derive from capsanthin and capsorubin.[10] One study found high concentrations of zeaxanthin in orange paprika.[24] The same study found that orange paprika contains much more lutein than red or yellow paprika.[24]

In a reference serving amount of one teaspoon (2 grams), paprika supplies 6 calories, is 10% water, and provides 21% of the Daily Value of vitamin A.[25] It provides no other nutrients in significant content.

Early Spanish explorers took red pepper seeds back to Europe, where the plant gradually lost its pungent taste and became "sweet " paprika. Paprika is considered as the national spice of Hungary, where it was introduced by the Turks in 1569. Hungarian paprika is available in eight different varieties ranging in color and pungency. In 1937, the Hungarian chemist Albert Szent-Gyrgy won the Nobel Prize for research on the vitamin content of paprika. Pound for pound, paprika has a higher content of Vitamin C than citrus fruit.

Generally speaking, paprika is much lower in capsaicin, the pungent (hot) compound found in red pepper. Compounds in paprika called methoxypyrazines'' are responsible for its vegetative flavor. The sweetness of paprika comes from a sugar content of up to 6%. There is a great deal of variation in the flavor profiles of different types of paprika. The spice can range in flavor from mild and sweet to very hot. Domestic paprika is characteristically mild, sweet and vegetable-like. Some Spanish paprikas are dried by smoking and thus have a smoky flavor. Some varieties, such as Hungarian, can exhibit pungent (hot) characteristics.

Paprika is equally valued for its taste and color. Paprika is found in several spice blends including the Arabic seasoning baharat. Paprika plays a starring role in Gulys (Goulash), the national dish of Hungary and the popular dish, chicken paprikash. It is also a key ingredient in many Spanish sausages, such as Chorizo.

It depends how hot or sweet you would like it - packet labels should give a guide to pungency. Hungarian paprika has a balanced sweetness - warm, rather than hot. If it is labelled 'noble sweet', it will be the best quality.

In comparison to the Hungarian stuff, Spanish paprika is a little milder and is marked either 'dulce' (sweet and mild), 'agridulce' (bittersweet) or 'picante' (hot). The Spaniards also make a version using peppers that are wood-smoked before being ground - look for smoked paprika or 'picante pimenton' on the label.

Add anywhere you typically use paprika for added smoky flavor. Season stews, soups or beans, as well as beef, chicken, pork, and seafood. Mix into chili powder or barbecue seasonings for a homemade BBQ dry rub.

Add a good pinch of this sweet Spanish paprika in your favorite recipes where you typically use paprika seasoning, like stews, soups or beans. It adds just the right amount of smoky sweet paprika flavor and great color. Season beef, chicken, pork, seafood and other cuts of meat with Spanish sweet paprika. Mix sweet paprika powder into chili powders or barbecue seasonings to make a homemade BBQ dry rub.

This is the perfect, light summer meal. Seared asparagus is tossed with one of our customer-favorite seasonings and serves as a bed for an easy pan-fried fish, made crispy with gluten-free cornmeal and slightly smoky with our favorite paprika. The same pan-fried method works great with chicken or pork cutlets and tofu, too, for a non-seafood version.

Christopher Columbus brought peppers back to Spain from the New World just a few hundred years ago. In Spain, the seeds were distributed to the monasteries, which planted the peppers and taught their communities how to farm them. Centuries later, the Extremadura region in Western Spain has a protected designation of origin for their world-famous smoked paprika, so we flew to Extremadura to see the harvest for ourselves.

The paprika season starts in February, when farmers plant young paprika seedlings in long rows. By September, the plants are chock-full of firetruck-red peppers that resemble a witch's fingers. That's when they get picked and brought over to the two-story smokehouses located on each farm.

Preheat oven to 425 degrees. In a large bowl, add oil, paprika and salt and whisk to combine. Add the cauliflower and stir until the florets are well coated. Place in a single layer on a baking sheet (or 2 sheets, if needed) and bake for 30-40 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the florets begin to brown around the edges.

Pops of sweetness from the corn kernels are balanced by the acidity of the lime juice and the smokiness of the paprika. And the coconut oil melds perfectly with the cilantro and offers a savory richness.

Love this! I always put paprika in my Mac and cheese so I figured this would be amazing and it was. I added 2 handfuls of cheddar cheese to the sauce before tossing it with the pasta and I loved the cheesy creaminess it added! Definitely will be making this again, thanks for the delicious recipe!

Made this recipe last week for my grands (10 & 13) and it was delicious. Made just as recipe stated. Very easy to follow. Chicken was moist and delicious. First time for chicken breasts in a long time because they always turned out dry. But the instructions for this recipe are perfect. So good that I made it again this week for my 22 year old granddaughter and she loved it. Only had smoked paprika on hand this time ? so just used 1 tsp and added a little more heavy cream. Fresh lemon juice is a must for this recipe it pulls everything together nicely. Worked out great.

Pasta with this wonderful sauce is fantastic.

And if smoked paprika isn't your thing? No worries! Use regular paprika, or any of your favorite spices and flavorings and make this your own. Greek yogurt is a great stand-in for a heavier cream cheese or sour cream dip, and can be flavored in pretty much any way (ooooh maybe a sweet one to eat with fruit?!).

The highlight of this recipe is really the Smoked Paprika Maple Aioli. It's a lovely balanced dipping sauce that's made from ingredients that you likely have on hand. If you don't keep smoked paprika in the cabinet and maple syrup in the fridge, I highly suggest you start to... they're some of the staples that I can't live without!

Summary The

anti-inflammatory compound capsaicin in paprika may treat pain and fight

inflammation associated with a variety of conditions, though more studies are

necessary.

In a 12-week study in 100 healthy adults, those who took a supplement containing 9 mg of paprika carotenoids per day had significantly lower LDL (bad) and total cholesterol levels than those who got a placebo (22).

Summary Compounds in

paprika, including carotenoids and capsaicin, may block cancer cell growth and

fight oxidative stress related to cancer risk. Yet, more studies are necessary.

I cooked these peppers on a stovetop grill, but you could also blister them in a skillet. For dipping purposes, I whipped up an easy aioli that includes smoked paprika for extra flavor. You could serve them garnished simply with a bit of sea salt, but I think the aioli takes things over the top.

Hallo alle zussamen! I tried Googling this first, but didn't have any luck. I'm was going over some different foods in my German Living Language book and saw that the German word for "bell pepper" is "der Paprika", but that the German word for paprika, the spice, is also "der Paprika". I know that paprika comes from peppers, but they are clearly two different things. How can you distinguish the difference? If I was asked to pick up some Paprika at the store, how would I know which I should buy?

Bobbie: The original instructions said to sprinkle the paprika, salt and sugar mixture over the top, but I found rolling them around in the mixture was better. (You might notice the first time I made them, in the picture with the cup of coffee, the tops are a little darker and uneven because I sprinkled them. But the second time I tried rolling them and preferred it.) e24fc04721
