Sweet Hungarian Paprika 170 ASTA

Sweet Hungarian Paprika 170 ASTA is a pure spice with a distinctive aromatic profile and a wide range of culinary uses. It comes from Capsicum annuum and is available as a fine red paprika powder. It can be used in meat, chicken, potatoes, sauces, legumes, and marinades, adding intensity and depth without requiring complicated preparation.

The spice we use

The product consists exclusively of fine red paprika powder and is not a ready-made seasoning blend. This allows for better control over quantities and combinations. It can be used on its own or with other spices, depending on the dish and the aromatic result we want to create.

Origin and identity

The botanical species Capsicum annuum has a long history in international cuisine. Different cuisines use it in different ways, from simple everyday recipes to complex blends. Its pure form makes it easy to adapt to both traditional and modern applications.

Aroma, color, and flavor

Its natural aroma is concentrated and becomes more noticeable when the product comes into contact with heat, liquids, or fats. The color, shade, and intensity may vary slightly and naturally depending on the harvest and the raw material. These variations are to be expected in a natural spice.

How to use it

It pairs well with meat, chicken, potatoes, sauces, legumes, and marinades. It can be added at the beginning of cooking for more even incorporation, or toward the end for a more distinct aromatic presence. In marinades, mix it with oil and other seasonings; in sauces, it is best to add it gradually.

Pairings

Depending on the recipe, it can be combined with black pepper, coriander, cumin, paprika, cinnamon, garlic, onion, and aromatic herbs. The right balance is important, since each pure spice has its own intensity. Start with a small amount and adjust after tasting.

Natural appearance

As this is a natural agricultural product, slight variations in shade, particle size, or texture may occur. During transport, the powder may become compacted or smaller particles may settle toward the bottom of the package. This does not affect its culinary use.

Practical use in the kitchen

For a controlled result, start with a small amount and increase gradually. In dishes that cook for a long time, the aroma blends in more deeply, while adding it toward the end preserves a more pronounced aromatic presence. In dry mixes, stir well so the spice is distributed evenly.

What it pairs best with

It is especially practical for meat, chicken, potatoes, sauces, legumes, and marinades. It can also serve as a base for personal spice blends, allowing you to adjust the intensity and proportions yourself. This versatility makes it useful in both home and professional kitchens.

Storage

Store in a cool, dry, dark place, away from moisture, steam, heat, and direct sunlight. After opening, close the package tightly and use a clean, dry spoon or utensil. Proper storage helps protect its natural aroma.

Precautions

Use as a food and spice in the quantities required by each recipe. If you have a known allergy or sensitivity to this spice, avoid the product. With ground forms, avoid directly inhaling the fine powder or getting it in your eyes.
