The Paprika Plant and Its Origin
Both spice paprika and vegetable paprika look very similar, but there is a subtle difference: spice paprika is slightly more pointed and is used to make paprika powder, which has a sweeter, milder taste. Both belong to the genus Capsicum and are part of the nightshade family (Solanaceae). The spice paprika Capsicum annuum is the most widespread variety in Europe.
Capsicum annuum is a perennial shrub, but it is not frost-resistant. In colder regions, the paprika plant is seeded annually, as the plants die in the cold winter months. The plants can grow several meters high and have egg-shaped green leaves. During the flowering period, white flowers develop from which the paprika fruits grow. These fruits start green and ripen from yellow to a deep red color.
Production of Mild Paprika Powder
The different types of paprika powder do not differ in the variety of paprika used but in the processing method. Hot paprika powder is made from whole, dried paprika fruits and includes the hot inner walls and seeds, which are responsible for the heat. In contrast, for mild paprika powder, the paprika is deseeded and stripped of the hot inner walls after harvest. The peppers are then dried and finely ground into a mild powder with a sweet taste.

Culinary Use of Mild Paprika Powder
Mild paprika powder is the perfect spice for those who prefer a gentle and aromatic flavor. It is especially popular in Hungarian cuisine, where it is used as the main ingredient in goulash. The paprika powder adds a mild, sweet seasoning to stews and poultry dishes such as roast chicken, chicken legs, or poultry roast. It also enhances tomato sauces, risottos, vegetable dishes, and even cheese dishes or cottage cheese, adding a balanced, pleasant taste. Try it in salads or on grilled vegetables to refine your dishes.
Storage of Paprika Powder
To preserve the freshness and aroma of your mild paprika powder, we recommend storing it in jars with screw-on lids. Simply sterilize the jars by heating them in boiling water for five minutes. Store the spices in a dry, cool place and protect them from direct sunlight. The ideal storage temperature for spices is about 15°C to maintain the flavor of the paprika powder.
