Paprika comes from grinding dry pods of bell pepper or other chili peppers. It adds a rich color to your meal and enhances the overall appearance of your dish. But, what if you run out of this amazing spice? Here are a few suggestions to help you. Chili powder is usually used as a seasoning spice made with a combination of chili pepper base and made up cumin and garlic powder. Paprika, on the other hand, is purely made of chilies or a mixture of chilies and have a sweetness to it. Taste-wise, chili powder is usually hotter than paprika. You can substitute the two but know that adding paprika in place of chili powder will give you less spicy and somewhat sweet taste to your dish. Hungarian paprika is a different story altogether. It is hot paprika that is mostly used in seasoning Hungarian dishes, though it’s found its way into so many other cuisines. It adds a delicious aroma and deep color to the dish. Hungarian paprika comes in different varieties as well, and each has their exclusive flavor and appearance. Edesnemes is one of its most exported brands of paprika. Got any questions?
