Paprika Koral – Vibrant Color, Mild Heat, Premium Powder

Field Notes on Paprika Koral (chili powder-40,000SHU-50,000SHU)

Spice buyers keep telling me heat has grown up: not just hotter, but cleaner, traceable, consistent. That’s exactly where Paprika Koral sits—40,000–50,000 SHU, bright color, and, to be honest, surprisingly steady batch-to-batch. It’s 100% natural, no additives, milled and packed at origin in Hebei, China. Trend-wise, the market wants dual-purpose chilies: flavor plus color without synthetic dyes. This checks the box.
