La Vera Smoked Hot Paprika
Both paprika and bell pepper are good sources of vitamins and antioxidants. Paprika is particularly high in vitamin A, while bell peppers are high in vitamin C. However, paprika is often consumed in smaller amounts than bell pepper, so the health benefits may be less significant.


Another worthy replacement for smoked paprika is ancho chili powder. It’s made from dried and ground ancho chiles. This pepper is more common in Mexican cooking but found its way into the United States by way of Tex Mex cuisine. They offer mild to medium heat that only ranges from 1,000 to 1,500 SHU. It has a deep, smoky and slightly sweet flavor. For this reason, you don’t have to worry as much when using this as a replacement as it won’t overpower your dish as easily compared to chipotle powder. To use as an effective backup, you can incorporate exactly how much a recipe calls for smoked paprika.
