California Farm Winter Made Red Paprika Spice
We use about one cup of smoked paprika powder per year, and one cup of regular sweet paprika powder. You can make these spices easily and quickly yourself by dehydrating red organic fresh California Wonder sweet peppers in your oven, then pulverizing them in your food processor or coffee grinder.
If you buy sweet red peppers in the store, and they are not organic, submerge them 15 minutes in a solution of 2 Tsp baking soda and 1 quart of water, then wash them. It removes 40% to 90% of residual pesticides.
