Sweet Paprika Powder

At Tuna Spice, carefully selected red peppers are harvested at optimal maturity for peak color, aroma, and flavor. They are gently dried in low-temperature ovens and ground using traditional stone mill systems. This method preserves the natural pigments—especially capsanthin—and gives the spice its vibrant color.
