Smoked Paprika

Paprika is a vibrant red spice made from dried and ground red peppers in the Capsicum annuum family. Where plain paprika tastes mild, slightly fruity, and vegetable-like, smoked paprika is dried over oak fires to give it a rich campfire-like smokiness and does have a sharp, pungent kick of heat.
