Smoked paprika, in the amounts typically consumed, is not a significant source of any nutrients. However, relative to its weight, smoked paprika is rich in a variety of carotenoids (compounds part of the vitamin A family), such as alpha-carotene, beta-carotene, zeaxanthin, lutein, beta-cryptoxanthin, capsanthin, and capsorubin.
Like most other spices, smoked paprika doesn’t necessarily “count” towards your macronutrient or micronutrient tallies, although it is still relatively nutrient rich, and of course adds flavour.
Uses
Paprika is delicious sprinkled over cooked eggs or soft cheeses, and goes very well with chicken, pork, or white fish. It is also a natural match with potatoes or any tomato-based dish.
Heating can enhance paprika’s flavor, but be careful because it burns easily. To avoid burning the spice, heat it over low heat, add some olive oil, and limit frying it to less than one minute. Otherwise, paprika can be added to roasted, pan-fried, or stewed vegetables or meats.
