Culinary Uses:
Sweet paprika has a beautiful deep red color. Despite its nickname "red pepper," it’s not spicy at all, so you can use it generously in dishes for its vibrant hue.
Traditionally, it’s used in couscous and tagines (often combined with spices like cumin and coriander) and in many North African and Spanish dishes. It adds a mild, smooth flavor and beautiful color to seafood and fish dishes, and serves as a base for sauces like Tabasco and Harissa, providing their striking red color.
