Another thing I want you to note when using this mixed substitute spice for paprika is to ensure its distinct flavor goes well with all the ingredients in your recipe. Otherwise, you will end up with a dish with an unbalanced flavor.
However, any variety of smoked paprika won't match the heat level of hot paprika. It's why I also add red pepper flakes, chili flakes, or ground chilies to my recipe when using smoked paprika.
- Paprika extract is typically obtained through a water-based extraction process, where the color and flavor components of paprika are extracted using water as a solvent. This method often yields a product with a lower concentration of the active compounds found in paprika.
Paprika is known for its smoky and sweet taste, and is commonly used in Hungarian and Spanish cuisine as a seasoning for stews, soups, and meat dishes. On the other hand, bell peppers have a mild and slightly sweet taste, and are often used in salads, stir-fries, and as a topping for pizzas and sandwiches.
Thus, please don't be confused when I use the terms hot or spicy paprika and Hungarian paprika interchangeably.




What Customers Say: “I originally bought this as a prank on a friend, but tasted it first in order to make sure it was not too hot for an asthmatic. I decided that it was too good to be used on the prank. Ever since, I eat this with pizza as the garlic makes it taste a lot like marinara sauce!!! Amazing hot sauce!!!”
