A dark red paprika with a touch of sharpness. Good for Moroccan recipes. (SML PKT)
Other Common Names: Sweet Paprika, Mild Paprika, Smoked Paprika. Botanical Name: (Capsicum annuum)
Description & Use: Paprika is the name given to the sweet and only slightly hot members of the capsicum family. While chillies are used mostly for their flavour and heat, Paprika is most appreciated for its vibrant colour and agreeable, full-bodied flavour. Mild Paprika is dark red in colour and has a slightly sharp (but not hot) edge to it. Mild Paprika is the best type for Moroccan and Middle Eastern cooking.
