How to Use
Bloom the paprika briefly in oil or butter off direct high heat to release its color and flavor, since prolonged high heat can turn ground paprika bitter.

Frequently Asked Questions
What makes Pride of Szeged Hot Paprika authentic?
This paprika is ground in Szeged, Hungary, a city recognized as a center of paprika production since the 18th century, using fiery Hungarian peppers. The result is a deep red, air-dried powder with a bold, pungent heat rather than the milder flavor of standard sweet paprika found in most grocery aisles.
Is Pride of Szeged Hot Paprika the same as smoked paprika?
No. It is not smoked. This is a pure, air-dried ground hot paprika with a bright, clean heat and rich red color. Smoked paprika gets its distinct flavor from a smoking step during drying, which this product does not use, so the taste profile is noticeably different.
Does Pride of Szeged Hot Paprika contain allergens?
Paprika is a single-ingredient ground spice, but packaging, sourcing, and facility practices can change, so anyone with a food allergy or sensitivity should read the printed label on the tin before use. Contact Pride of Szeged directly if you need further confirmation about a specific production batch.
How should I store Pride of Szeged Hot Paprika?
Store the sealed tin in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and heat sources such as the stove. Reseal the tin tightly after each use to help preserve its color, aroma, and heat level. Ground paprika is best used within its printed shelf life for the boldest flavor.
