Smoked Paprika

🧠 Brain Health Benefits

Smoked Paprika is made from slow-smoked and dried red peppers, giving it a deep, complex flavor that is a cornerstone of Mediterranean and Middle Eastern cooking. It is exceptionally rich in capsanthin and capsorubin — carotenoid antioxidants unique to red peppers that cross the blood-brain barrier and protect neurons from oxidative damage. Paprika also provides vitamin C, vitamin A, and iron, all essential for neurotransmitter synthesis and oxygen delivery to the brain. The smoking process adds additional phenolic compounds with anti-inflammatory properties. Smoked paprika adds bold color and neuroprotective depth to kofta, roasted vegetables, hummus, and spice rubs throughout the Mediterranean cookbook.
