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.
