McCormick Paprika Edelsüss / mittlscharf

Spain is located at the crossroads between Europe and Africa and has a rich culinary tradition due to its history. Since the 19th century, paprika has been an essential ingredient in everyday dishes of the local cuisine. This spice, characteristic of Hungarian cuisine, is believed to have arrived in Europe shortly after Christopher Columbus's expeditions. Its name has Hungarian origins, but the plant from which it is made comes from Central America.

Fine paprika powder has a beautiful red color that leans slightly towards orange. It is made from peppers with thin skins and mild flavors, which are harvested when ripe and then dried in the sun or with warm air before being ground. The spiciness of paprika powder varies depending on the variety.

Scientific name: Capsicum annuum.
