The Paprika Plant and Its Origin
Although spice paprika and vegetable paprika look quite similar, they differ in use and flavor. Spice paprika is slightly more pointed and is used to produce paprika powder, known for its sweet and mild taste. Both types belong to the genus Capsicum in the nightshade family (Solanaceae). The variety Capsicum annuum is the most commonly cultivated in Europe.
Capsicum annuum is a perennial shrub, but it is not frost-resistant. In colder climates, the plant is grown as an annual. The shrubs can reach several meters in height and develop egg-shaped green leaves. White blossoms appear during flowering season, and the fruits ripen from green to yellow and eventually a deep red.
How Mild Paprika Powder is Made
The difference between types of paprika powder lies not in the variety of pepper used but in how it is processed. Hot paprika powder includes the whole dried pepper, seeds, and inner membranes, which provide heat. For mild paprika powder, these hot components are removed after harvest. The remaining fruit is then dried and finely ground into a sweet and mild-tasting powder.

How to Use Mild Paprika Powder in Cooking
Mild paprika powder is ideal for those who prefer a gentle, aromatic flavor without heat. It is especially popular in Hungarian cuisine, where it is a key ingredient in goulash. Use it to season stews, poultry dishes like roast chicken or chicken legs, tomato sauces, risottos, vegetable dishes, and even cheese spreads or cottage cheese. It also adds a pleasant note to salads and grilled vegetables.
Storage Tips
To preserve the freshness and aroma of your paprika powder, we recommend storing it in screw-top glass jars. Sterilize the jars by boiling them for five minutes before use. Keep the jars tightly sealed in a cool, dry, and dark place. The ideal storage temperature is around 15°C to ensure long-lasting flavor.
