About Spices, paprika
Paprika is made from dried and ground red peppers, and the style, whether sweet, smoked, or hot, determines how it behaves in cooking. Sweet paprika is mild and slightly fruity, useful more for its deep brick-red color than for heat. Smoked paprika adds a woodsy depth that transforms roasted vegetables, deviled eggs, and rice dishes. It has more fat than most ground spices and carries antioxidant pigments from the peppers themselves. In cooking quantities, all of that is largely academic; what you taste is the rich, slightly earthy sweetness.
