The main difference between chili powder and the two spices we’ve covered is that chili powder actually comes from a blend of red pepper flakes. It’s also much hotter than cayenne powder—ours comes in at a whopping 160,000 Scovilles.

Are paprika and bell pepper the same thing?

Carne con chili, or chili con carne, is a renowned Tex-Mex dish that showcases the versatility of chili peppers. It features tender meat, usually beef, simmered with chili peppers, tomatoes, beans, and spices until flavors meld into a hearty stew. The key to a flavorful carne con chili lies in the quality of the chili used, whether it's fresh peppers, chili powder, or pure paprika.

Paprika is often used for seasoning meat and is a common ingredient in rubs, marinades, sauces and stews. So make sure you have some nearby the next time you fire up the barbeque. In the US, you’ll see paprika sprinkled over deviled eggs, eggs benedict and french fries to give a spicy kick, and it’s often scattered on top of creamy soups to add both colour and sweetness. It’s also sprinkled on top of hummus and used as a substitute to flour for thickening sauces. Add paprika in pasta sauce, or any tomato-based dish to add a burst of flavour and gorgeous colour. The next time you cook mac and cheese – try adding smoked paprika – it takes it to a whole different level.

What Customers Say: “Incredible on eggs, avocado toast, baked or grilled veggies, or anything tex-mex. Seriously delicious. I'm a little spice mouse that usually can't handle anything above super mild, but this is just so good... 15/10.”

The plants, with their pretty white flowers and vibrant red pods, were at first used decoratively in more aristocratic circles but by 1569 were being written about in reference to edible agriculture.
