Frontier Co-op® Smoked Paprika is ground into a powder from Capsicum annum peppers smoked in Spain. Smoked paprika has a flavor unlike regular paprika, which is not smoked at all. The peppers are smoked and dried over hot fires then crushed to deliver a deep smoky flavor to many different dishes. Fragrantly sweet and intensely colorful, this is a great spice to keep on hand.
